My current solution is to ignore the problem, but some day I'll have to get under it and find the leaking hose. And once I do I'll disable the HL washer which sprays an ABSURD amount of fluid all over the front. I hate those warts on the front bumper too.
Mostly likely a grommet or a failed motor seal causing the leak.

If you want to remove the HL washers, you may be able to find someone to 3D print four small covers to fit the holes in the bumper, left by removing the small "binnacles".

Not the E53 but you get the idea...
