Default Rear wash leaks under hood

Hey guys thanks for reading this:


When i use my rear wash, the water only seldomly comes out of the jet and if it does, very weak. The other times i can hear the sound of the pump but no water from the jet.
I opened up the back, and noticed that there was no water coming through the pipes into the pump.

And i also noticed that almost ALL of the liquid that i try to spray, ends up under the hood under the front of the car. From what seems like the left front wheel.

As im quite bad when it comes to whats under the hood, i was wondering where is the leak most likely stemming from? where should i look?

Thanks so much guys!!

First off. If it's still under warranty - take it back to the dealership. If not, what year?

Follow the lines leading from the windshield washer reservoir out to the spray nozzles to see where the difficulty resides. They're likely cracked from years of use.
