Leak in ceiling from rear fluid wash

[EdBooth28]

Hi all I have unfortunately noticed my rear fluid wash pipe must be burst and had been leaking through . Any advice on how u access this or what I should do about it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ed

1st thing to try is maybe clamp the hose in the engine bay to stop it getting worse before you tackle the interior.

presumably if I don't try to activate the rear sprayer none will go down there anyway. Or is it always under pressure? It only seems to have leaked when I tried spraying it.

Only when activated.
Do you think it was damaged by the pop top, awning rail? installation?

Or have you used the rear wash when the jets been frozen and it's blown the pipe off ?

I think this, the pop top went in over a year ago and there hasn't been a leak. After the recent frozen nights, I just noticed the leak the other day and the wiper not working.

I think I’d get that spotlight out and use a cheap Draper endoscope to see what’s going on.
