Default 200 RX 300 Leaking rear windshield fluid hose

I have dripping at the rear passenger wheel-well, it is dripping from the drain plug in the body. The hose for the rear windshield fluid seems to route that way, it looks like water so I assume its a cracked hose. How is the hose routed and whats the best way to get at it?

Thanks

It is unlikely that the leak is from rear washer hose. Before you go on that rabbit trail, confirm by:

Wait a number of days after rain. Make sure there is no condensation of water during cool evening [park in garage]. Then run washer pump for 5 minutes [dont burn out the motor] with intervals. Now if you get a leak, only then you can conclude it is washer fluid.

If it is washer fluid, the most likely place is the flex area near the top edge of the hatch.
