My ’05 GT has leaking windshield nozzles under acceleration, not a big problem but after cleaning the car it makes a bit of a mess! If I leave the reservoir no more than about 2/3 full it isn't quite so bad. Is there a fix or do I just have to live with it?:shrug:

I don't remember who made them but I have seen ultra low pressure "valves" in line from the pump to the nozzle. They not only keep the fluid from draining out of the lines after the washer is used, but they keep the fluid from running down the line if the pump isn't pushing it through. I think that the valve open with 1/4 psi of pressure.

They were not made by Ford or Chevy
