I've checked the Q-list search engine, but to no avail. The tubing that routes the washer fluid under your hood to the jets probably popped out of one of the jets, so most of the fluid is falling on the ground. My '89 100Q (the exact same car as yours) did this ALL the time. That tubing is about 1/4" too short to fit properly. What I did was take out one of the clips that holds it to the hood, which gave me an extra 1/2" or so or slack. Worked for 3 years now. -- Andrew L.
