Windshield washer fluid leaking from front camera- easy fix?

[TheDrew]

I recently noticed that all of my windshield washer fluid is draining out of the housing for the front camera that is inside of the grill of the car. I got a notification that fluid was low so I filled it up. Went back in the garage. About an hour later and noticed a large puddle underneath the car. Traced the leak back to the front camera housing. I believe that the washer fluid sprays on this camera whenever you spray the front windshield. But something is allowing it to leak out at a fast trip. I lost all of the fluid within less than a day.

Has anyone else had this issue? If so, is there an easy fix? It’s going to be annoying waiting two weeks to take it to my local service center to get repaired. (Soonest appointment)

had this fixed a few weeks ago on mine. Had a family member take it to the service center while I was working. He waited for it took about an hour fix.

Just had my hose replaced to front camera for same issue. Took 2 mobile techs, one to pry out on the front grill while other got his hands behind it. For a hose replacement, it was not an easy task unfortunately

I just picked up my R1S from service yesterday for this issue. I was told they replaced the grill and sprayer. It was a quick fix.

My son's R1S had this problem too. The Houston service center took care of it.

Same issue here, just noticed it while checking for a coolant leak. I did wonder why the truck was eating washer fluid.
