My windshield washer fluid has been leaking for some time now. After some investigating, I narrowed down the problem to the headlight squirter on the passenger side. It is has two nozzles and it is missing one! So the water just keeps leaking out from there. I was wondering if I could just buy the individual nozzle and insert it in there or do I need to buy the whole assembly - the housing and the two jets. Also do you guys have any idea where I could go shopping for this?

Has anyone had this kind of a problem before? I still can't understand how the nozzle could have gone missing....

My windshield washer fluid is leaking to but it doesn't drain all the way out so I think mine is probably in the resevour. Sorry that doesn't really fit with your issue.

Mine leaks as well, but not from the hose or spray jet. It leaks from a crack in the reservoir. You might have to just replace the entire assembly.

I had a small leak due to one of the rubber seals around the washer pump cracking. There are two rubber seals. One for each pump. They are at the point where the pump meets the resevoir.

It is a pain to get at as you need to remove the wheel liner to get access to the reservoir. Simple to do, but will take some time.

Bear in mind, where I currently am, the summer is normally 130 F so it might not be the case in your vehicle.
