I just replaced the washer fluid hoses on my Taurus. Now I have very low pressure on the driver side nozzle. can't find any leaks, but it seems to be loosing vacuum pressure. Passenger side nozzle is great. Ideas?What do I need to look for to find the vacuum loss?

okay. It is my daughter's car, so I made an assumption the pressure was fine before. Maybe it wasn't. i will check with her and try cleaning them. Thanks

pump may be worn , blocked nozzle or there may have been a restrictor in line in the old hose that was not seen when you replaced the hose.
