winshield washer tube broke

hello everybody, so since it has been raining on and off for the few past days I was using my winshield washer and everything was ok. But when i got out of my car and got back in, i noticed the low fluid light was on, so i check it and my winshield washer tank was completely empty. I refill it and notice all of it just draining out of my car. I think that the tube just broke in half for some unknown reason, but for the mean time i put a screw in the tube to stop some of the flow but it still leaks. here are some of the pictures, does anybody have a part number for this piece?

It may just be the hose what leaks somewhere. Just follow the path of the hoses on their way to the sprayer heads in the hood. Sometimes it is where the hoses run from the fendor alonge the hinges of the hood to the sparyers

The motors fit to the tank through rubber grommets.

They get old and hard and leak.

Replace them.

You can replace the entire tank, washer motors, gromets etc. for less than $60. All new parts I purchased from www.autohausaz.com Great outfit to deal with.

Good Luck,

Jayare
