Default Washer jet leaking

I've recently had the front end if my car re-sprayed so the bonnet has been removed and replaced. Since I've had it back one of the washer jets seems to be leaking. It's leaking on the top of the bonnet, pretty annoying when ive just polished it and it dribbles all over it. I've tried taking the jet out and re-seating it but it's made no difference. Any ideas?

Replace the rubber tube that fits into it. If that doesn't work it means the jet itself has a split in it.

Reckon it's the latter as it's leaking on top of the bonnet.

And yet another Honda rip off price-

Item 14 / 16 and obviously the paint on some of them make it a quid dearer, so the paint for a whole car £700,000 at a guess.

I'll get some of those Jazz washer jets from the traders section on here, I think they were £21.00 a pair delivered. I've already re-seated the tubes and jets etc so It must be the nozzle. Damn heavy handed painters lol

Good call I suspect jets from any Honda will be the same & if you choose a syspathetic color like black for moonrock or silverstone you won't know the difference.
I know at least some of the colours are the same despite the name, after all my wife drives a ladyboy blue Jazz, but it's been renamed blue rinse granny blue.

I'd go to the paint shop and tell them it's leaking. They'll get a nice discount with the dealer and if they don't want to pay for it completely they might split the cost or something...

This is still happening and it's very annoying. I've swapped the washer jets over side to side and it made no difference, then bought a brand new one and it's still leaking from the jet holes. It's only the passenger side one. All the hoses and tubes are attached fine and not leaking Any ideas what could be causing the problem?

Went to a local scrapyard and picked up some Jazz washer jets for absolutely nothing.

The scuttle panel will have to be removed from the Jazz to get them out.
