Headlight washer leak

My headlight washer is just leaking out the jets once I fill the bottle up.

Is there a seal broke somewhere or is it a case of new washer?

There is a T piece that is also a valve behind the bumper. The valve has either failed, or has been replaced with a standard T piece. It will only allow the water to flow out for a while, as it's only the tube to the reservoir that is higher than the washer jets.

When I was investigating my headlight washers not working (turned out to be the second pump) I stripped that T piece down. The bottom of T goes to washer pump and 2 arms to the headlight washers. The centre junction of the T has a small housing with a spring loaded ball bearing acting as a 'non return valve' inside. I think any non return T valve will do the job just as well. Dave

Thanks, I've noticed since it started leaking that my headlight washers have a slight delay too. Hoping this is linked to the T piece otherwise it's new pump time I think.

Just wish it was quicker and easier to get to lol
