Rear wiper leak

Nothing serious, but just random.

Here is the situation:

I get home from uni and dump my bag in the boot. But I notice that some time during the day the rear windscreen washer has had a little wet dream and sprayed a bit of washer fluid onto the rear window. Only a few drops, and it just dries up either on the windscreen or just above the rear mini badge.

Im presuming its just due to the really weird weather we have here, 7 degrees C in the morn and by lunch time a nice and warm 24 degrees or so. Hence causes the water to expand and squirt out?

Yes, no, maybe so?

Maybe you should just remove that ugly thing all together

MINI has a check valve to place inline for that issue. I know it was a quiet warranty issue in the US where if you complained they installed it.

The part # is 61-68-8-229-249 Sells for about 2.50 US
