Give the tank and pump a clean out, the wifes X5 was exactly the same and the filter/tank and pump all gunged up to buggery, cleaned them and they were back 100% again.
Also, try running them with the bonnet open and watch for leaks too.

Remove and soak the jets in hot water, then blow through in the reverse direction: AGAINST the direction the water comes out.

Check all pipework too, mine got quite clagged up. Some additives aren't that good.
