when i fill the washer bottle up it drips down onto the floor from the bumper area and also when i squirt the washers, how does it work? i dunno where to start

There's a tank under the front of the r/h wing with a pump in it, the pipe's probably come off the pump. You probably have a cover to take off to get to it, unless the liner's been replaced there, in which case you'll need to take the front half of it off to get to it.

all i can see from the engine is the pipe going into something

do ineed to take wheel arch off?

If you've not got an access panel bit then yes.

right i took the guard off underneath and had a look under the washer bottle but i cant see where the leak is coming from, maybe its the bottle cracked from when its frozen from just having water with no de icer? also there is a hose hanging that has come off somewhere, think it joins onto a set of 2 hoses but not sure what it does?

oh and my sri has headlight washers but they havent worked since i had the car, saw them work on the test drive but not since, should they come on when you have the headlights on and squirt the windows? maybe this is causing a leak?

That does have a distinct broken off look to it. I dunno how the headlamp washers work but if that's broken off the pump then perhaps the sceeenwash is running out through the pump.

i can see what its snapped off of, but i dunno what it all does? theres 2 pipes near the radiator and this pipe looks like it tees on to it, 2 into 1 sort of thing, anyone know?

this is it:


but its not coming from the pipe thats hanging or from the broken join

Any use?

not sure if the adapter in my last pic is for the headlamps? whatever it is for thats what the dangling hose has snapped off of, but the water isnt leaking from there

the seals most probs perished,
number 5 on the the pic above

is it easy to take out? i cant find a how to so doubt ill be able to

read your replies its all there its just time,afew tools [torx bits] and jobs done

and that pipe is for your headlight washers but if its broke it will drain your water bottle so a cheap option is to block it off.
