Mine is leaking somewhere by the pasenger seat! How did you access the hoses? I'll just fix it myself.Found the leak! Ford routes a rubber line from the wiper bottle to the rear of the passenger seat, inside the vehicle, and then it makes a 90 degree with a plastic fitting. Then, the fitting connects to a plastic ribbed line that crosses under the passenger seat to the driver's side...where it connects to another 90 and then to a rubber line that goes to the rear window nozzle. My plastic ribbed line has a pinhole leak...and only after running the rear squirts it would build a vacuum and then slowly draw all the fluid out of the bottle. It ran down the footwell, then forward until it could run out of the door sill and under the car via a cutout near a pinch weld in the rocker. Dunno why Ford chose to use a plastic line in an area in which someone could easily step on it, but I may replace that section with a rubber line. Good thing I have a Badlands, with no carpet...
