Default Washer fluid leak on drivers side

Hi all,

As above, noticed a leak (seems to be washer fluid), dripping out of an opening in the undertray (where a small plastic strip is secured) in the middle of the two parts of the tray

It is slow, but constant

Will have a look by removing the undertray, but thought I'd check here first if anyone has any ideas on how best to 'get' to this area to check it out?? As I'm not sure where it is leaking from, possibly the pipe connecting to the bottle or possibly the headlamp washer

I couldn't see any easy way of removing the headlamp to check?

Thanks!

Thanks

Unfortunately it cannot be seen from above... I felt the headlight connection without looking (can't see it) and it seems dry... I have a feeling it is leaking from the connection to the reservoir

Will probably take wheel arch liner off and have a look

The washer reservoir is in the right fender in US cars but may be in left fender on UK right hand drive cars.

Took wheel and arch liner off

It is leaking from the headlight washer jet.

It seems to be a plastic tube that slides within a hollow pipe, if you gently pull the washer jet forwards from the front of the car (to the position it is in when it sprays), you can see water leaking out of where the tube goes into the hollow pipe

Very hard to access though so probably going to take it to jaguar as it looks like the bumper may need removing to replace the part
