Washer fluid essentially leaks out onto the windshield instead of spraying?

The spray nozzles are clear. Hose connectors are slipping out of the hose with a small amount of effort and are clearly leaking. Is it enough to replace the connectors, or better to replace the hose and connectors? The hose does not appear to be damaged or leaking anywhere but the loose connectors. Are washer fluid hoses a universal diameter? Are hose connectors a universal size?

Thank you

Hello D-GRAY,

In my opinion it's best to change out everything at once. I would get the nozzle and hoses assembly right from the dealer.

I took the liberty of getting the part numbers: (See included image)

Callout 16- Left side hose and nozzle- part number 22712503
Callout 16- Right side hose and nozzle- part number 22712504
Callout 9- Hose from pump to nozzle connectors assembly- part number 15237473

The hoses and connector along with the nozzles do use a universal size. Like 1/8 or 3/16. However, the way the nozzles mount onto the wipers can be very different.

Thank you,
Brendon
