Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
I am having a similar problem. I can see the washer fluid leaking out under my passenger side foglight leaving little blue icicles. I have done a search but have not found anything useful. Can anyone help?
I am sure it must be a split hose to the rear washer as the front washers and headlamp squirters still work fine. Any ideas where i can find the hose? I have had a look for it but tbh i don't really know my way around the car. Cheers

You may not need to take off that cover. In my car, on the passengers side of the boot, behind the material trim, the pipe has a little elbow joint which clips together. Mine was only partially in which caused it leak to leak into the panel.
The symptoms were a lot of condensation in the entire car and when opening the boot, a strong smell of washer fluid.
Some more reading and boot cover removal instructions.

PS it's also better if you remove the two boot light clusters. (3 nuts) and then you'll see some of the metal clips and can prise them out carefully.

Please don't glue it back together either , if the join has come loose it's because you tried to use the screen wash when the pipe was frozen. Keep plenty of antifreeze in and it won't happen.
Is it wet down the side boot trim or is it just coming out of the tailgate area?

Because if you do that you'll blow the pipe off somewhere else that may not be as accessible - i.e. behind the boot trim on the back of the wiper which is much harder to get at
erm the leak isn't in the boot.
for some reason the antifreeze is dripping out from underneath the front passenger side foglamp.
any ideas?

That must be where the pipe goes out from the tank to the boot .... time to have a dig and see if you've got a split
ok, slightly off topic but rear washer related all the same.
When my tank was running low, so i could install hids, i noticed that when used the front washer it would also squirt a small amount out of the rear - any thoughts as not sure why it would happen unless it was extra pressure used to push out as tank low?
