Did a temporary repair to the headlamp washer system.

I tried them out for the first time today and there was no water getting to the headlamps but I noticed water was dripping down at the front of the car. Further investigation and I found the T-piece valve for the headlamp washers which I removed and took apart. It was gummed up so I proceeded to clean it out and put back together. Unfortunately it didn't help as the water was still pouring out the hole at the bottom of the valve, so with a dab of acrylic cement I filled the hole and I put the valve back on the car and the washers are now working. I'll order a new valve next time I'm buying parts
