I have the same problem, and yes the part is expensive and the labor charges through the roof since you have to remove the entire front bumper to fix. I did try filling the one side of the nozzle with a sealant which worked great for about two weeks. Because the pressure is so high on these nozzles it ultimately blew out the remaining jet so I do not recommend blocking the missing jet. Honestly, I don't think these washers do a lot to help with dirty lenses. The washer system has two pumps, one for the headlight and a separate for the windshield. I called my local independent repair shop and they suggested just unplugging the pump for the headlight washers, which is what I did and now no longer have old faithful!
