This reminds me of the story about a DSMer removing his rear wiper, but keeping the nozzle and turning it to face backwards for all the tailgaters. It worked so well that he used a fuel pump to get more distance and sprayed anyone that got too close. I hope yours gets fixed though, that would bug the hell out of me if it happened to my car!

Problem solved guys. My evo didn't come with the inline check valve or (restictor) read Nasty Evolutions post hes dead on right. After ordering 2 new nozzles, neighborhood auto store restictors, found the solution to it is 2 Joint #3's part number MR388278. The arrow must face into the nozzle when installing. It is circled in the picture.

THANK YOU! My driver's side has had this problem for months and the passenger just started too. I knew the problem was the restrictors, as I had the same issue with my old 300ZX TT. I read on here that the nozzles fixed it, so I figured the restrictors were integral to the nozzles (and wasted $25 on a driver's side nozzle that didn't fix the problem). Finally, with your help, I now have the part number and have ordered some replacements.

I searched this problem trying to figure out for days. I was told to also purchase 2 new nozzles installed them and called it a day, but nope it still was leaking, wasted money spent. I then tried to search for photos of evos with their hoods up closely to where I can see the nozzles but no luck. Until I found this thread where you can replace your nozzles with galant nozzles. It showed the configuration of under the hood and I was able to see that mines didn't have the restrictor. Then it made sense to me i was missing that part all along. Man I almost just about to give in to not even use my wipers. I am glad that this issue is fixed.

Man on a white car that has to really suck. My Evo was BBY so the blue washer fluid wasn't really noticeable from more that a few feet.

I just noticed my car doing this at the last autox event. My reservoir was a lot more full than normal though. I'll check out the fixes.

LOLWUT.

Now we can all sleep better and move onto more pressing issues, such as: My taillights always fall out of my car when I hit the gas. Do you think it might be a bulb or the rubber pad on the accelerator pedal?
