Default Rear Washer Fluid Leaking

Well it must be leaking onto the piece of the hatch above the licens plate because it has ruined the paint on that piece. I can only assume its the rain-x fluid im using and it softened up the paint and has left runs in it and white drip spots. You can actually see where the paint is grooved by the fluid. Ive tried using a polishing compound to clean it up but it doesnt seem to be working.

Man thats really sucks, who knew washer fluid would ever ruin your paint. I guess unless i can figure out when its leaking and how to stop it ill have to siphon out the fluid and use the something else. And then repaint that piece, not worried about it being body color ill just use the same paint i used ont he rear bumper (black duplicolor bedliner) or I will hit the JY and see if I can find one in the factory color.

Yeah, it's the alcohol in the washer fluid.... same stuff that the blower guys use for meth injection.
