My accord is white and my wiper fluid is orange (but gets the job done, by golly). I find that whenever I spray, my nozzles dribble fluid everywhere, not just a few drops in front after it all falls down, it's streams all down the hood.
I've changed my nozzles, made sure my lines don't leak, everything. I have tucked the lines though, but I don't see how that could be the problem whenever I can watch them dribble after I use them.
I'm going to start narrowing this down and I will find a solution. I'll get brand new lines first, then change my pump on the reservoir, then I'll relocate the nozzles maybe get some nifty wiper arms like from a Pontiac with the nozzles built in.
Even though I will find a solution to this I want to know if it happens to anybody else? I don't see other cars with it down their hood, what's up with mine?

No i've got the same problem, but it doesn't bother me much. I just avoid using it. I think the problem comes from the nozzles , there some kind of small drilled ball, and it might not be perfectly fluidproof.

Never had, I think pump missing valve to 'shut off'. I could make one from brass, but probably $$$ over a new pump.

I remember reading somewhere the honda fit nozzles spray better and fit our cars as well.
