    Coupe - No spray from front washer jets

    Could hear the pump running, and rear works ok. WTH? Got out and noticed a puddle by the DS tire. Started pulling the hood pad, and the DS hose falls out! Doah! The end was very loose and just gave up.

    New (well, added) clamp, and a dab of goo on the PS nozzle plastic that seemed a bit warped and stained from a fluid leak. I'll look for a new elbow. Probably NLA like half the car.

    Now just let it dry.

    Glad you figured it out. NLA parts do stink. I have an old Dodge GLH, bought new by my dad, I am slowing restoring and finding parts for that is like going on a snipe hunt. https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-pr...odge-omni-glh/
    I did want to mention that I have a friend who is a recently retired BMW master tech for many years. He warned me that the BMW washer fluid will harbor mold and mildew if not changed or treated with a few drops of chlorine bleach. He showed me some pics of a pump filter screen that was totally clogged from mold slime. I had no idea that could ever happen.
    Not saying that has any bearing on your issue, but worth a look if you take the bottle out for any reason. Also thought others reading this thread might find that fun fact useful. Cheers!

    @sleeperz Screen is spotless (just looked). I make my own fluid from concentrate in the summer months, and have had no issues. Pump is also fairly new as the old one would only spray the front window and lost its rear function somehow.

    I believe I found the elbow:
