99.9% sure the pipe has popped off the wiper assembly under the bootlid panel.
mine popped off again the other day. Take the 2 screws out of the grab handles and either;
A: tug like a banshee and hope you dont snap any of the clips
B: remove the rear bulb cluster covers and use a long screwdriver to pry out the clips
then its just a case of pulling it away at the bottom so you can get your arm in.

it happened to mine last week its the pipe inside rear panel .just take off the bootlid panel just like said above then look at where the wiper arm comes in and you will see the pipe hanging off just push it back on .since i did mine mine has poped off in the side panel in boot now 
Yep, put myne back on a few months ago, sits just behind the boot light and a bit forward from it on the left hand side (if that makes sence), bit awkward if you just prise it up to see but only takes a minute and you'll feel it click back into place.
i put a clip on mine and it has now broke in the boot near the light so not sure if its a good idea mate
best do it sooner rather than later and clean your boot lock up as the water will cause it to seize
just had the same situation

happend to me twice, so i've resorted to a high concentration of screenwash to try and stop it freezing in the first place!
The boot trim will be very brittle in this weather, I'd try and wait until the weather warms up a little it you can.
Is having a rear washwiper jet, that doesn't work an MOT failure?
If not I might just blank off the rear pipe.

No, they will not even test the rear washer jet. You can only fail on split or warn wiper blades.
skullmunki your car looks awesome in your sig - nice one!
Anyway, just a word of advice on this topic though for those who may be interested.
I heard from a mechanic friend a long time ago that a high concentration of washer fluid is NOT a good thing as it can congeal, leading to - yep you guessed it - blocked jets!
Since then I've always used a fairly weak solution, then just make sure I don't use it when I know it's likely to be frozen as this can also have it's own problems of leading to pressure buid-up which can force the tubing to come off at the jet end!
Of course I don't actually know if any of this is true
, but I've yet to have a problem since practicing the above!
