Default 2001 996 headlight washer problem

It seems that only the rightside washer jet sprays when I try and wash the headlights - this has the lintronic headlights. Nothing comes out of the left side.

Where should I start to diagnose this - shlould I remove the left headlight and then washer to see if clogged or ? Pump works so I'm thinking something in the lines or nozzle? This is not the pop-up washer from 2002 on.

Your ideas?

Default head light washers

I agree...pull the headlight out (see owner's manual for instructions) and then activate washers. The washer units are feed by a single line from the pump. So a clogged or leaking nozzle is a good guess.
