How do I replace the L shaped piece on my windshield washer fluid line?

I have a leak on the drivers side washer fluid sprayer. The leak appears to be coming from the L shaped piece that connects the fluid hose to the sprayers. Any ideas on how to replace it?

Well you need to verify if it's leaking from a cracked plastic line on the wiper, or from the hose itself. Sometimes if it's just the hose you can pull it off the plastic pipe and cut it back a bit (the hose) then reinstall it. If it's a cracked plastic pipe in the wiper arm you can probably order that from a dealer or clean it and put some epoxy on the crack.

Sounds like a bad ';tee'; connector; just a hollow tube. A dealer or parts store will have something to fit.
It is called a ';tee'; and if you can usually just pull the flexible hoses off of it, carefully with little twist as you pull. If not, and you have enough excess hose, you can cut the hose just behind the bulge. Any auto parts store can give you a replacement.
