    I have had my washer-jets get blocked with suds from screen-wash, and needed repeated clearing with a pin. It may be more permanent if you fitted new jets, as I had to keep that pin inside the car permanently, despite using "HOLTS" concentrate. A bit of blockage will create a back-pressure of wash liquid, under the bonnet, and probably cause a leak there, when using the wash-wipe.
