Washer fluid leak
My windshield washer dumps the fluid on the garage floor whenever engaged. I have already checked the connections at the pump and all is well so I assume it must be at another fitting somewhere else. Can anyone tell me how to access the connection at the nozzles. I will start there and work my way back

Do you have headlight washers? One of mine was leaking and there was some part I had to replace so the reservoir didn't drain out. If not that, the reservoir itself?

Not the reservoir, not the headligh washers, they work fine with no leaks. It is somewhere after the pump , I do not have a manual to show the tubing as it goes from the pump to the nozzles.

Had this happen recently. There is a tube connection from the tank to a manifold under the drivers side wheel well liner. This usually comes lose. Remove the liner and it will be obvious.

I have already removed the wheel liner , everything attached, the leak is somewhere in the middle of the car directly below the windshield, that is where the puddle forms on the garage floor.

Nozzles clogged? They just pop out and try blowing compressed air thru?

Was this ever solved?
I suddenly have the exact same problem. When the washer motor engages, not a drop appears in either nozzle and the water just dumps onto the garage floor. Seems odd both nozzles would entirely plug all at once.
