Washer fluid leak in passenger footwell

Big Cry Am getting used to then joys of rrsport niggles. Love the car when it's 100% the problem is 100% is a temporary utopia.
Latest issue was when I sprayed to clear the rear screen it sounded as though there was a spraying noise in the passenger front footwell. Lo and behold when checking the front footwell it was moist to touch with washer fluid.
Is this a commen problem and if so is it just a loose hose or something else.
Cheers
Sid

Update; washer pipe has cracked as it enters the passenger compartment above the fuse box behind the dash. Dash out to replace Big Cry
Waiting to see the total bill for this but not happy. Car came with an extended warranty from rac, but might as well have come with a roll of Andrex for all it is worth.

Is there no chance you can thread a thin wire down the inside of the existing tube and pull new tube back through. You can make it easier if you lubricate the old tube as much as possible with silicon or, at a push, washing up liquid. Thoroughly lubricate the new tube.

^^^^ Failing that why not put a new section of tube through bulkhead in an accessible location (even make a new hole with grommet) and join with old tube where convenient. Disconnect the old tube, blank its ends and forget it!!

Thanks, that's a good idea. I'm Not utterly confident doing this but will mention it to my local specialist Kings langley Land Rover and see what they say.
