right guys, bit of a strange one. I have noticed recently that when i get up to go to work my right washer jet appears to have been leaking or something all over my bonnet?? I washed waxed the car the other day and because of the warm/dry weather have not used my washer jets at all, i park up last night fine, get up this morning and find my bonnet like the pic shows below?!?! it is only on the right side jet, the weather did not drop to freezing so no expansion of the pipes or anything?! please someone tell me you have had the same problem and managed to figure out why as it is driving me nuts......I would have thought that the screenwash wouldnt be under any pressure until the jets were activated by the stalk and causing the motor to pump the fluid out but am i being stupid?! help??

Has the heat Caused liquid to expand and seep out? Maybe it was blocked and you used the jets-with only one venting the other increased in pressure. During the night the steady pressure bled of through the blockage seeping over the bonnet.

someone else had questioned whether it was the heat causing it to expand, but i dont think my screenwash is that full as i rarely use it due to it covering my bonnet and wings with soapy water. I will have to have a look if it is blocked but i dont remember having any trouble with it
