headlight washer problem update
I pulled my panels down,added a lot of water, and now can see both headlight washers leak from the top of the assemblies in their holders. It appears they just press solidly up into the holders, the holders have plastic "fingers" on them. They can be rotated slightly and that makes them a bit better on leakage. I assume there is a seal of sorts near the top. I have not tried to pull them out of the holders until I understand more about the assembly and if there is a seal at the top or I need 2 new nozzle assemblies. Does anyone have an exploded diagram as how they fit in place and if there are O rings involved?

We were posting at the same time. I answered your first query above.
Here are the WIS instructions for removal. Not sure if you actually have to remove the bumper, perhaps someone can chime in with a short cut.
Good luck,
Bob
