Post Dribbling Windshield Washer...

My passenger side windshield washer nozzle dribbles when driving at speed. It functions fine when I activate the washer, but leaks washer fluid while driving WITHOUT activating the washer (negative pressure produced while moving a la Bernouli?). Any suggestions?

Mine too I've noticed. Was thinking about putting an Alegra tablet in it's tank to stop the dribble. Will the washer fluid damage the paint?

I had it once, but not now - Wondering why - The only answer must be, the 'one way valves' (I changed them due to another reson) - See Tony' side, he had good proposal for these system.

Sounds like the check valves. I replaced mine recently. Found the old ones were either stuck open or stuck closed. New ones are only a few dollars each from 928 Specialists.
