yes I have experienced this with one of the nozzels. When I bought the car there was a residue left on the hood from fluid leaked from the nozzle. I have tried a claybar and wax and the residue stain is still there. I will probably mention it to the dealer the first time I take it in for warranty work.

One of the first upgrades I did to my evo VIII and Ralliart was replacing the nozzles. I used galant nozzles as they spray a mist instead of two streams. That really really helped them from leaking. Also check for any kinks in the tubing.

its only one nozzle. Drivers side. I dont even use the washer fluid. Not sure if the nozzles even work since I haven't used the feature in the month I've owned the car.

I have had this problem. I asked the dealer about it 6 months ago or so, and they said they didnt know anything about it being a problem..... Maybe they know now?

The Evo 10 sprays the "fan" of water not like the Evo 8/9 which has two streams.

Hey guys I'm interested in getting a fan/mist style nozzle as well. What is the part # for the Galantbnozzle, or which galant year model is it?
