having problems with my 2003 ford focus. i have some kind of leak going on with the washer fluid system that allows wiper fluid to go to the back window but not the front. This makes me think that the problem is with a hose running from the reservoir but all i can find is the tiny filler reservoir that goes into the fender. Anyone know if it's necessary to pull off the fender just to check out the washer fluid hoses or are they secretly disguised somewhere else on the car that's easier to access?

 

Is it spilling washer fluid onto the ground when the pump is running? It's not necessary to pull the fender, but the fender 'splash shield' in the wheel wellneeds to be removed for access to the pump/hoses.. Check your PM....
