Magic Vision windshield fluid hose leak

The heated windshield washer hose fitting at the driver's side firewall is leaking fluid resulting in no fluid to the driver's side wiper blade. Seems the "O" ring inside the fitting has failed. Would anyone happen to know the part number for this hose assembly? I can't find it in my emanual.

Hose located under this cover.

Heated hose going to driver's side wiper blade.

Hose assembly circled in red snaps down into (???) box mounted on firewall. Fluid leaks at this connection which is sealed by an "O" ring at the end of the hose fitting.

I guess ask the dealer? I'd just replace the O-ring, if it were me

The hose part number is A2318602592. But, I agree with @Chevota go to Harbor Freight and get a box of o-rings and find one that fits. If that doesn't work, then you can go to the dealer and grab your ankles (the hose retails for $270).

Not Harbor Freight! They sell the worst O-rings ever! They not only have a nasty casting line that can leak, they are incredibly short lived. Get them from a hardware store for standard ones, or a real O-ring supplier on Amazon so you get quality and choose the material if you want.

What? Say it's not true! I get all my parts for my $100,000 automobile from Harbor Freight.
