heavily...further inspection found the leak to be coming from the plastic cylinder in the bumper that is part of the headlight washer assembly...doesn't spray water on the headlights now...I assume they are cracked? am I correct? how much do they cost, and anyone have any they want to get rid of? TIA

check the hoses/fittings that go to your headlight pop-up washers

Chances are that the washer pump is cracked if it's leaking from there. Common problem.

I just replaced mine, both the windshield washer pump and headlight pump were bad, using the writeup it was like a 30 min. job. Parts were about $45 for both from ECS tuning.
