64 plate Metropolis. Rear wash was not working but found the fluid is coming out under the filler tank so I assume a connection has come loose from the tank or motor - but how do I get at it ?

Washer bottle will be under the drivers side headlight. Yer can get to it by removing the inner wheel arch plastic. I guess the pipe has split. Hopefully yer can get enough access through the arch. If not then the bumper will need to come oft. Does the front screen wash and head light wash still work?

That's good then as the tank should be ok. Hopefully only the pipe from tank to the rear has failed. I had similar 15 years ago on a FL1 but my plastic pipe on the motor itself had bent and split. Rubber pipe also damaged.
