Default Front headlight spray hose is leaking

I had a 1998 audi 2.8 and the front driver side healights spray hose is leaking. The dealer wants to charge me 250 to fix the leak/replace the unit.I was wondering what the actual part is called or the part number. im gonna see if I can patch the leak possibly.

Try turning your lights on and pull the lever back for at least 4 seconds...

Remove the bumper and take out the motor ,
there is a rubber seal inside the motor that get's
worn and the fluid runs into the motor and it stops.

If you remove the motor and dry it , lube it up
and fill the space betwean the seal and the engine
with silicone grease or some other grease that should give the motor new life.
(the grease keeps fluid from entering the motor again)
