Bizarre Windshield Washer Behavior

E320 Wagon

Just started, i press the rear windshield washer and no fluid comes out, but it squirts some out on the front windshield.

Whats up with that, clogged line?

clogged line, clogged nozzle, corroded nozzle, fractured hose...iced nozzle,
frozen hose, failing pump, bird poop... just conjecture. your eyes will
determine what, with a little probing and testing

FIGURED IT OUT!!-----easy one.

When I was messing with the power-steering reservoir i knocked the hose out of the base of the washer-fluid reservoir. Its the BLUE LINE that needed to be plugged back in.
Cant believe i didnt see that before posting but maybe this will be helpful to another user.
