see if you can stick the end of a small paper clip in the spray hole and see if it can be cleared of any dirt or adjusted to spray better.

Your one way valve in the sprayer is shot. Mine is too...I have the same problem. Theres supposed to be a small check valve that shuts off flow but when it gets gunk in there the valve doesnt work. Get new sprayers and it'll be fine

but only one side dose it so i think there might be dirt or something built up inside the line.

Each sprayer has its own check valve, its built into it.
