rear wiper/washer repair. found a dried lake of blue in the spare well. 850

While checking my spare I noted the tire well was damp and had a blue "bathtub ring". My rear washer doesn't work but I think I may have found a clue to why it doesn’t. I found a plastic line that come from under the rear seat and connects to a filter/check valve/back flow preventer near the passenger side of the spare well (it looks like a filter, why does it need a filter?) and then the line/tube continues to the rear pillar. I assume this is the washer fluid line from the motor compartment and part of it is leaking. Id like to fix it and I’ve been searching the archive for about an hour or so and I don’t find it in my Chilton or Haynes manuals, so...

Do you know what the part I’m trying to describe and where can I find another... and maybe some pointers on getting the rear washer to work again?


thanks a bunch!
and apologies for the length of my question,
-cheers
