<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v308/lowtrux4life/DSC01485.jpg">

P.S. my car has been running fine since the day I bought it...I just happened to notice this stuff today. I know my windshield washers don't work because they're not connected/ mounted on the CF hood. Is that what the plug goes to? thanks in advance.

Default if I were to guess, I'd say headlight washer piping and possibly the pig tail that plugs...
into the washer pump?

Default you can remove that hose and the headlight pump and seal the hole in the washer fluid reservoir
that's what I did anyways

Default How hard is it to get the pump out?
Couldn't i just take out the washer fluid resevoir while i'm at it...since it will never be used?

Default if you don't have windshield sprayers, sure
although I'm at a loss how you can drive around without them. Do you keep moist towlettes in your glove compartment?
