Windshield Washer Lines 850 1995

Just bought a 95 850 Turbo Wagon, 96K miles. This car was, apparently, never driven in winter. The two things that don't work are the heated seats (for which there's lots of info here and elsewhere on the net) and the windshield washer system, which is my concern in this post.

Not sure why, but the lines leading from the pump attached to the reservoir had been cut halfway between the reservoir and the jets on the hood. I got some fittings and reconnected the lines. A little fluid appeared at the jets, without much pressure. Then I noticed that fluid was gushing out (when the control lever was activated) near the passenger side headlight. I assume that a connection to the headlight washer has been disconnected.

I can't really see any connection near the headlight. I can't find any pictorial layout of the washer lines in any manual that I have, or online. The motor attached to the reservoir seems to be working. I understand that there's a motor for the rear window washer, but not sure where it is.

If anybody can enlighten me as to how these lines should be reconnected, I'd be grateful. This isn't something I really want to pay a mechanic to do if I can help it.

Thanks.
