    Hello all!

    Wiper fluid started burbling only on both nozzles when activated. Pump sounds good. Tested on dry road and fluid is leaking mostly from right side of engine compartment. Weird washer fluid layout. The hose goes through some manifold to only reappear to travel up to a 90 degree turn and then under the sound cover under the hood. Leak seems to be at the point the hose goes into the cowl or behind it. How do you get that cowl off or get to the hose behind it?

    Found the issue. Seems like someone cut the line and tried to hide it by wrapping with electrical tape that has since dried out. Now the leak. Rather than replace the entire line from the reservois to the 90 through the cowl, I'm going to search for a splicer and do the quick fix.
