Subject:Windshield washer tank repair questions

Hi folks,

So far only problem found after a longer than usual winter rest is no windshield washer in the front.  

I always try to keep the winter fluid in my van year long but tank was empty and when I pored more in it came out from somewhere.

so, once the rain stops and I  can pull the van out to work on it I’d love to start with any list suggestions on tips for tank removal and inspection or other likely problems such as hose connections. 

I don’t hear a motor sound when pulling up on the wiper stock.  I do hear one when pushing down and the rear wiper sprays.

Should I hear a sprayer motor when the front is engaged? 

So tips appreciated.
