Leaky rear wiper nozzle

[BriBerk]

I have had my JLU Rubicon since March 27 and I would say for the last month or so, I have noticed a slight leak in the rear wiper nozzle. There is consistently a dried stream of wiper fluid streaming down the rear glass. Every time I get the Jeep washed, the stream is back, but I never see it dripping, just the aftermath. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Happy to say mine was leaking so I purged the hose but then started using it a lot during some crappy weather and ran the fluid out of it and refilled it with a better quaility fluid and it’s not dribbled at all so not sure what’s going on, I can’t see the fluid brand making a difference as it’s all liquid.

The lower the reservoir, the worse mine appeared to leak. I filled it to the brim with some high quality H2O and it has not leaked since????

Yes, l have noted filling to the brim is needed in order to control the problem. I also put a hole in the fluid reservoir cap along with removing the Cap's gasket. Removing gasket has stopped issue if cap popping up/loose. l haven't had a drip in 45+ days.

Synthetic or conventional? :cwl:

Yeah, seems odd. Well, I guess I will see what they say when I bring it in for my first oil change and cruise control recall.

Mine will dribble a little, but only after I spray. I don’t feel right complaining about it, since parts of me do the same thing sometimes!

My Jeep does the same drizzle out of the back nozzle as well. At this point I am willing to deal with it....it's not as bad as the steering problem.

Just notice mine this morning having the old man with a prostrate problem dribble also. I usually keep my washer fluid tank topped off every week but let it get down to the last 10% or so level this time. If keeping the washer fluid tank full alleviates it, I can live with that.
