    Today while I was driving a little fast in a roundabout (turning left), I noticed some fluid leaking from the right nozzle on the right wiper.
    As I didn't encounter any roundabout turning right I don't know if it does the same on the left side, but I'm pretty sure this is not normal.

    Is this problem known? Any fix?

    Thanks.

    Your correct and win the prize LOL Not normal, replace the nozzle. They have a check valve like a fuel pump to keep the fluid feeding back down to the reservoir.
    Some place do sell in inline check valve you can ad also. Google "valeo windshield washer check valve"

    I broke a windshield washer nozzle clean off while washing (to aggressive with a blow dryer). Daniel at Ricambi stocks these nozzles. They are cheep so do not meet his minimum shipping amount. However if you ask him he will send them to you anyway. A good guy. Sadly the nozzle install is a 'one way' snap press fitting from the top, so the trunk liner must be removed for access under the cowl to remove the old broken one.
