Windshield Washer Tank/Pump/Hoses (HELP)

New one for me and couldn't find any info (even searched the front bumper mod pictures).

Story: Yesterday my front windshield washer quit and then the low fluid light came on (only strange thing was that the rear had been working and hadn't run dry first). To shorten the story - the hose had blown off the pump. Reconnected and everything was fine. On to today, and after a few hours of commute and washer use it happened again. Spray pressure/pattern was fine (read normal), using winter fluid, so it doesn't appear to be a clog or freeze up. :confused:

Question: The rear washer hose and the electrical harness have a clip near the tank that secure them. The front washer hose seems to just hang free. Is there supposed to be a clip for that too? (my thinking is that without a clip, the now aged hose may not have enough "grab" to keep it on the nipple of the pump when pressurized). Anyone have a clear photo of the pump/hoses at the bottom of the washer tank? Maybe from a bumper mod? Or a manual with an image of clips/routing?

there isn't anything that secures the hoses to the pumps outside of friction on the mating surface. if it keeps popping off your hose might be split or something. the pressure from the pumps is surprisingly substantial considering their size so thats not totally unreasonable.
