Something odd that I've never seen on a car before.

Everytime I make a hard right hand turn, (or moderate for that matter) the windshield washer fluid streams out onto my hood.

This in turn creates spots on a freshly washed S! (not to mention depletes my washer reservoir.

Has anyone ever had this problem or heard of it?

Never!

Yeah mine leak some I think. I still runs from the nozzles all over my hood. Sucks. I'm going to look at them and inspect them to see if I can find anything. I think there is wax lodged in them from waxing my car, don't know why that would cause them to leak though. They do spray funny so will at least fix that hopefully. I'll post back if I can find anything that could help.

Anyone else ever find a resolution to this problem? This is happening to my car as well... leaking on the hood.

Same here.

For about a 1/2 year now I've noticed it, it never happened before.
Now that I think about it... it started when I removed the hood to work on the engine.
Maybe the hose doesn't fit watertight on the fitting anymore.
Those hoses get warm under the hood - maybe they are dryed out?

Theres a one way check valve inside each sprayer. Its probably starting to get clogged up due to dust/dirt. Buy new nozzles and it'll be good to go.

I get the same issue at autox sometimes.

The check valve is a seperate item (*) on my car.
As you can see, the spring is kaputt.
Its supposed to create some resistance, so the pump wil be able to get the water through but G-forces don't.

(*) - I found this part # 76829-SM1-004 but that's called a "I - joint" and according to the list there are 4 of them in the system.
Not on my car, just 2
So I guess the part # is not the check valve.

That is a (Mitsuba) check valve.
