It could simply be a case of replacing the T connectors on the headlamp feed and windsheild feed. The T connectors incorporate a non return valve which seems to get blocked very easily.

Getting to the one for the windsheild is easy, just loosen the hood insulation. The one behind the headlamp is fiddly but I preservered because I couldn't be bothered to remove any bits to make access easier.

Replacing the T connectors may stop the leak so I'd try this first as the parts are not expensive.
