Default Leaking washer bottle hose

After cleaning my windshield yesterday the washer light turns on. I go to refill the bottle and find a puddle on the floor. Took a flashlight and found that the fluid was leaking out of a hole in a hose coming up from the middle front of the bottle. The hole looks cut into the hose from the factory. Does this sound right?

Cleaned the top of my Nike's twice until I realized it was the fluid I was filling in the washer bottle. As I filled the third time with water I could see the fluid coming from a hose located right under the power steering fluid box, but just low enough that I could not get my hand down to see how attached. Dealer fixed under warranty was a leak in the hose going to the front head light washers
