I got my 02 T/A back from a repair shop recently and they disconnected a hose or something... when i try to use the washer fluid nothing comes out. it makes a sound so i tried holding it down to see if it was coming out somewhere else and sure enough, it's leaking out from under the driver side fender. i was curious if anyone knows where that hose runs so i can repair it without taking half my car apart.

From the tank to a tee under the cowl. I think the tee is in the middle of the firewall under the cowl. If a hose on the tee comes loose, it could leak outbehind the front wheels. Also, check under the tank, but if it was off there, it would all leak out.

Ah, thank you...What's the cowl? is that the plastic shielding over the wheels under each wheel well??

The area between the hood and windshield, where the wipers are. That black plastic piece is the cowl cover

The factory hose is hard plastic, might have cracked or broke it as it is brittle.

that would make sense, there was a blizzard here a few weeks ago and it went into the shop right after. the ice may have caused it to crack.

Very good possibility! If it is leaking down behind the wheel, I bet it is one of the lines under the cowl.
