I just bought a jug of windshield wiper fluid to fill up with since the dash was saying I was low. I filled about a quarter of the jug, stopped and saw there were no leaks so I continue to fill the rest of the jug... until I noticed my garage flooded with blue!

I peaked underneath and I see this tube hanging down leaking onto the floor. I haven't done anything rough lately, but I did do another oil change 2 weeks back. So potentially I could have loosened something without noticing when putting the covers back on.

Does anyone know where to plug this line back in? I assume it's a quick reattachment but I didn't want to lie down in windshield wiper fluid to do it so I figured I'd ask the experts before heading back under there tomorrow when everything's dry.

I was surprised I couldn't find something like this previously posted. Thank you in advance for any help

Here’s what mine looks like just from pictures I have on hand. The end that’s hanging down in your shot is above and out of view of this picture but should give you a good idea. Will be some sort of 90 or T up and forward of the washer pump assembly
 
Yeah, I had that happen to me also. Since my MetalTech bumpers don't have headlight washers, YotoMasters (who mounted the bumpers) just pinched off the washer tubing. After about 5 years, whatever they did finally came undone and unexpectedly drained all my washer fluid.
Glad it was a simple and easy fix! Just plugged it up and now had the opportunity to refill the tank with really good cold weather washer fluid for when we spend time up in Tahoe skiing.

Quick funny story:
Many years ago up in Tahoe in the winter, coming down the mountain in below freezing conditions. My windshield was filthy so I hit my windshield washer.
Worked great! Spayed washer all over my windshield!
Problem was, it froze to the windshield as soon as it hit!
Now my wipers didn't work and my forward visibility was totally gone! Had to pull over and scrape off the ice.
Learned my lesson. Now I use very low temp washer fluid AND I check the outside temp before hitting the washer button. :D

Just a quick picture was very helpful to determine where to look for the open connection. Thank you all

Here it is in case this is helpful to someone in the future:
