I've been having trouble lately with my windscreen washers. The water will not spray out of them properly and they seem to leak.

When I am driving along, drops of water come from the nozzle and hit the windscreen.

Has anyone else had this problem? It has only just started happening.
Any suggestions for what I should check first?

Thanks,
Matty

check for pinched washer fluid lines under the hood and see if the nozzles aren't clogged with junk.

Make sure you have enough fluid.

Thanks guys.

I don't think low water level is the problem because it started happening after I had filled it up.

I will check for pinched lines.

Problem Solved!!

The problem was a pinched washer hose. There is a notch in the engine cover for the washer hose, to keep it out of the way.

However, the "technicians" at the Toyota dealer did not put it back in position when they serviced the car. The hose was squashed between the cover and the outside of the engine bay, underneath the hood support.

Thanks guys - problem solved!
