washer fluid leaking onto hood

every time I wash my car, both washer nozzels leak washer fluid all over the hood again, creating lovely marks

so far the marks have washed off mine, but some have reported the hood stripes getting stained by the fluid, I have black stripes on mine

this thread got off topic, so I posted a new one, if you read this thread towards the end there are 2 issues people talk about

1, like me, have washer fluid leak out

2, unlike me, have cosmoline seep out


I posted this thread to stay on the subject, ONLY water leaks out onto the hood

I had a similar problem with my 2010 and I solved it by replacing the oem check valve (looks like a black lower case "h") with a cheap plastic "T" available at any auto parts or hardware store. The check valve connects the black supply line to the two black tubes that go to the individual washers.

My 07 does it from time to time. Glad to hear it's not just me!
