On my '86 245DL I accidently cut the hose to the rear windshield washer which is gravity feed to the lower part of body (when not being pumped up to the hatch) from front big tank in motor compartment in the wagons.
I was rust repairing rusted floor on passenger side of car. I drilled right through the little hose and immediately was deluged with washing fluid. A shock to see water pouring out of my floor but easy to fix with a vacumn hose splint for a few cents at a parts store. Used a needle nose pliers to stop the flow until fixed. It's a simple vacumn type hose going back to rear under right side of seat beniegh carpet along side a wire going to computer on right of footwell.... at least in my 245. (Note be careful fixing floors and better pull up the carpets and maybe seats too before drilling and poking into rusty areas. )
Your problem could be in the rear hatch and a pinch developed ... or the pump doesn't work.....either easy to check.. but to fix is another matter. If you had a leak you'd know it as the fluid would drain out. You should hear the motor whirring (on a very quiet moment) if the pump works. Probably your pump's not working. If you hear it working then maybe the hose is pinched or clogged. You could easily lift the carpets, but more likely it'd be in the hatch area. The nossle itself maybe corruded....
