Washer Jet Leak

Hi all,

This issue is really frustrating.
My motor works fine (sounds ok)..
A tiny drop of water comes our of the left nozzle.. nothing comes out of the right one.

I've noticed water dripping from under the car a few seconds after I trigger the washer jets.

BUT.. the water seems to be leaking from 3 different places.

1) under the front bumper right at the front of the car
2) by the front right wheel arch (easily visible when stood beside the front wheel)
3) by the front right wheel arch but slightly more central (i.e. a few inches towards the engine)

I dont have headlight washers, so I'm confused why water is leaking from the front of the car.
The water ONLY leaks after the jets are used. Not at any other time.

No visible leaks from the top of the engine bay.

Does anyone have an idea whats going on here?

Any help would be massively appreciated!

Many thanks all!

Paul

Sounds like you have a leak somewhere along the lines. You will need to trace them from the washer bottle behind the drivers side wheel arch upto the 2 jets. It could be the pipes come off the pump and spraying water inside the wheel arch.

Thanks mate. So this means wheel off, lining out, washer bottle out and start tracing the pipes?
Any idea how long this job would usually take?

TIA
