Default Wiper Fluid Leak!!!

Hey everyone,
I have a 03 B6 1.8T Quattro A4 that I am having kinda of a weired problem with. About 2 weeks ago, I had a low washer fluid light go off on the display so I filled it up. Ever since I did that, when I park the car I notice 2 or 3 little drops of washer fluid on the ground underneath both headlights. I am assuming that I have a problem with the hoses that feed my headlight washers? Has anyone ever had this same issue? Is there anyway to test if the headlight washers are working because Im not sure if mine do. If anyone has any feedback, that would be wonderful! Thanks everyone!!!

if you vehicle electronics module senses low fluid then no they won't work.

is a biege type hose that looks like a snake... just inspect for a leak. its pretty much straight forward

Just activate the washers, get out of the car and look if the headlights are wet.

It might not be the hoses, but rather the o-ring seals. The problem is, they are not offered as a separate part.

Both of your headlamp washer cylinders could also be leaking.

Heheh, I don't have to get out and see if they work - mine are like the water cannons from hell. If I spray the headlights while the car is parked, the blast on the front of my car looks like the mist from Niagara Falls, and the overshoot has enough range to clear the roof and hit my trunklid.
