Hi,

The pipe that carries the wash/wipe water mix to your rear screen passes through under the dash. You'll see it when you pull the kick panels and such from your passenger footwell.

There is, if I remember an in-line connector around there so this may have come apart thus giving your passengers a wonderful foot spa!

If it has separated then you'll need to ask why. Usually adverse pressure, caused by a blockage further down the line.
So you;ll need to check the pipe into the tailgate and probably the washer jet to make sure they are clear. Use an air hose on the pipe and a fine pin on the nozzle of the jet. You may need to remove the jet unit to give it a good clean and clear.
