Default Headlight washers leaking...

I have a leak of washer fluid coming from the headlight washers that seems to come out when I'm driving along.
Anyone know how to do a quick disconnect to stop it temporarily?
Then I'll need to dig in and get it fixed. Any pointers would help.
Thanks.

I can see why your hose is leaking.

You - your car - probably need new check valves on the washer system.

I don't remember how many there are but quite sure that is the problem.
I had a similar problem few years ago and changing them fixed it.

Edit: Hope this will help:

Thanks Bertrand, I'll get a couple of those ordered and see if that does it. It's just on the driver's side headlight, so sounds plausible that's the problem.

I had a leak too from the driver's light washer where the hose connected to the washer housing. Had to take off the tire and well cover. This connection was way up front and because of the angle was hard to get to. On the hose, the clamp is one of those 'pretzel' compression type things. With my very long extended needle nose pliers, I was able to get to hose on and then compress the clamp so I could seat it properly. It is quite a reach.
