Default Leaking washer fluid, on the ground

Greetings Volvo Lovers!
I love my 2005 xc70 - it's having a small problem though...the washer fluid runs out under the driver's side headlight when I pull the handle. Now when I look up at the area leaking it is all boxed in and I can't see the wash water line going to the headlight. Should I start pulling things apart? I really wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but winter is coming and I use my washer to keep the windshield from icing over. Last winter everything worked fine....then spring came and not fine.
If I could just know where to start and what to do with the hose (line) when I do find the darn leak.
That's it; hope you can help. I surely wouldn't want to call Click & Clack!

Welcome,

It sounds like the hose from the motor has cracked. It happens often so you are going to have to dig into it to find the leak.

Default say more please

Could you be a little more specific...if the leak is up front by driver's headlight, do I go through the light? Is there a diagram of the wash water route from the motor? Then when I find the leak, how would you recommend I plug it?
Not helpless, just lost.
