i took off the engine insulant to check it out and everytime i want to get some fluid on the windshield it comes out the 2 litlle holes and doesn't make itto the nozzles on top of the hood and the fluid gets lost in the engine compartment.what is my problem?

The one way valve is broke, so you need to buy a new one.

The hardest part of changing the valves are the little hose clips. They a real bugger to get on and off. You might be well advised to get new ones at the same time. Likewise You might like to change the nozzles at the same time. Just cleaning out the end with a pin ar needle doesn't always do the trick! They are only a push fit and likewise only cost pence from the dealers.
