Can be hard to see and the oblong cutout is to enable positioning of the spray.
I had to take mine out periodically and back-flush them with hot water. The washer fluid filler cap had been missing and there was a lot of crap in the reservoir. Can also be algae growing in there.
Best done on a warm day as the plastic is easily broken.
When/if you remove them, pump a lot of water through the hoses to clear any muck out.

Found the problem. It was pissin out the pipe near the bonnet hinge. I’ll have to pop to Halfrauds for a joiner. Tried fixing it with heat shrink and silicon, but no good, I’ll just have to cough up the cash🤪
Thank for all the advice chaps, I can confirm there is a jet. But as for removing them from the bonnet, I could only get them out by prising them out which may have broken a clip off. Couldn’t get near them from underneath. Regardless they both clicked back in again, and Mr Silicon will help out if they do come loose.
