That is very strange because the nozzle has nothing to do with water coming out when the water squirter pump is not operating. Make sure the motor is not pumping. You can try disconnecting the motor and see if the water still comes out. There might be a one way valve also that may be malfunctioning.

The whole washer assembly is very simple. Shouldn't be too hard to troubleshoot.

I agree it's probably just air trying to get out of the line. I would just use the washer fluid to pump all the air out. Hold it down for like 10-15 seconds to make sure all the air is expelled.

When you run the washer fluid do you hear any other odd noises coming from anywhere?

I dunno, but I reomved my washer nozzles after awhile because the chrome reflector inside began to rust. This happened on 2 pairs of mine.
