Paul - - The problem could be a leaky one-way valve somewhere in the line from pump to nozzles. They can pass water out their bottom ends.
Or a hose could have pulled off down under, or split at the end.
Or I guess the little pump could be bad, though they should last forever. There are separate pumps pushed into the reservoir, one for rear window, one for fronts. I guess the rear one also does headlights? I forget.
If it is the one-way valves, there's one just back of the nozzles, and I think also one down below near exit of pump, reached by removing some of the undercarriage plastic shielding.
If it's the one under the hood you'll see window wash below it just after trying to squirt windshield. If the one under the car, you might see some drip down onto the ground.
You can just bypass them and the only downside will be it will take a while to see spray after you call for it. Or you can buy replacements.
Or, they can be carefully pried open and the bad membrane removed. Replace it with a piece of plastic bread bag. No need to trim it down,just pop the piece back in with plastic stretched over it and trim off the excess then if it's too ugly.
