I think the difference is that it's not that the extra liquid left in the hose is just dripping out, it leaks out for a while after causing a small stream off my hood. Plus the other side is just fine. If both were having the same issue then I would think it is just extra liquid run off from the hoses.

Ok, seriously guys. We are talking about washer fluid run down my hood for a good while after I use them. It makes an ugly water/chemical mark on the paint surface. I'm sure if you noticed that your car was leaking anything you'd be all over wanting to fix it in a heart beat. So jokes aside (and yes a few were funny), any help here is welcome.

Thanks

Bortwein...

The answer it simple... Take it to your dealer and complain! Or purchase an aftermarket nozzle and replace yours.. say with some chrome ones or something.

You might try inserting a needle into the hole making it slightly larger in diameter.. If the hole is a little too small, then when the pump builds up pressure to squirt the water through, you get pressure buildup behind the nozzle. The nozzle, if too thin will keep enough back pressure in place that you get "leaks" as the pressure slowely dicipates though the nozzle (since the feeder hose expands it will hold more pressure for a longer period of time.)

Sort of like how your Garden Hose holds water pressure after you first turn it off and your Garden Nozzle leaks until that pressure is released.

Those are my thoughts.... Now I have a headach!

if penicilllin does not work then then next drug is your last hope as the disease has many defenses against this disease; a drippy sprayer
