Default New Leak - Not Coolant - ANy thoughts

Think I have a washer fluid line that's broken somewhere. Gut tells me it's by the headlight washer area.
We did a pressure check on the collanty system and it held at 15, and nothing leaked.
From the pictures its a the front passenger side under the bumper, same side as the washer fluid reservoir and the headlight washer.

Has anyone dealt with something similar, or any insights on the difficulty of fixing this?
Thanks

Have the same issue on a 2017 Cayenne GTS, it's the headlight washers.

Got the low wiper fluid message, filled up the tank, when we walked out of the store I saw the dripping.

You should be seeing a low wiper fluid message soon.

Haven't gotten around to it but I've found a few threads on here about the fix. Seems a lot of people hate the headlight washers (me included) and the easy fix is to just plug the hose.

I'll probably do the same and try to code out the headlight washers when I'm in there doing some other changes (mirrors fold when the car is locked)

If you unplug the hose, you have to plug the hose, don't you? I live in California, honestly don't need them. So that might be the way to go for me.
Is there a thread on how to fix this or delete the headlight washers?
