SL/R230: Headlight Washer Replacement??

Headlight Washer Replacement??
Came out of the office today to see a large puddle of blue liquid under my SL(Thank you lord it wasn't hydrallic fluid), anyway I knew it was washer fluid, got home took the driverside splash guard off and the headlight washer was cracked at the hose connector.
Trying to figure out how to get to the bolt to take this out? Anyone had to replace one of these before? Do I need to take off the bumper insert plate off or what? Any help would be appreciated!
Also any ideal where to buy one of these besides the dealer?
thanks again!

SL Headlamo Washer Leak
I just bought a used 2005 SL500 a couple of weeks ago and went into the garage one morning last week and saw the blue puddle. Resevoir drains in about 3 days. How do you get the splash guard off the bottom to see exactly where the leak is (the pump unit or the line?). Anyone have any installation manual pages for that or how to remove the unit?
And as you said , thank God it wasn't the strut!
