The windshield washer hose from the pump on the fluid reservior is broken somewhere in the L front wheel well area, and I tried to fish it out by using a hooked wire through a hole in the fender well but the water squirts out from where it is broken. There is a clear tube and a black tube coming from under the reservoir and going behind the headlight. It appears as if the tube to the washer jets was broken off or pulled out by the previous owner. It is a very crowded and difficult to work around the fluid reservoir. I could cut the clear hose, connect it to a new hose, and reroute it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I always just splice in some vacuum line to repair the broken hoses.
