Try using search it is your best friend

Yeah do a search mate. More than likely that the hose has popped off- either where it joins to the wiper motor or over the rear passenger side wheel arch. Failing that, it could be a blocked/corroded feed pipe inside the motor itself, which is something I fixed yesterday.

Thanks for the advise everyone


found the pipe on passenger side rear was not connected but now leaking what looks like on the actual jet but not at the pipe join!soaking the boot so need to ask if anyone knows how to change the jet as wont just pop out?

The plastic section of the jet will just pull out with pliers and a gentle twisting action. Mine was all blocked in the brass tube. To get to this, take wiper arm off, remove motor from tailgate(3x 10mm nuts) then take the metal backplate off the motor assembly (7x Torx screws). The jet will pull out one end and the brass tube will pull out the opposite end.
