Washer Fluid Leak.

So, spent time working on RR yesterday and one job was replacing front headlamp wipers.
Connected up the driver's side washer pipe (which was missing on the old wiper arm), and pressed play.
At first there wasn't any water squirting from the wiper, then....water ****ing out somewhere underneath the front driver's side.
Whole reservoir emptied itself.
I cant find where it's coming from, any ideas?

Ps. I had to use a small plastic cable tie to secure the small non-return valve into the larger tube as it kept sliding out.

Tube should be 5 mm I/D around 8 mm O/D rubber tube. If it's bigger than that it's the wrong tubing. The NRV should not need anything to retain it. Should be a tight push fit in the tube.

Tis the original tube but the valve seemed a fraction loose.

This one -



Don't know what's happened but can only think that a pipe has come off elsewhere.

Maybe, fit the correct tubing and make sure NRV is correct way round. Flow to washer jet. Also the fitting in the end of your pipe looks like a filter not an NRV.
