convert headlight washers to clean the rear of a turn signal housing

Can anybody help me diagnose the following problem:

Whenever I hit the headlight washer button, fluid puddles up and squirts out from behind the passenger side blinker.

You may want to try a different blinker fluid (I couldn't resist that one). Check your muffler bearings too.

Seriously though, shounds like the hose from your washer pump has a break in it back behind the blinker. Go trace the lines and look for where it's spilling out. There's a fitting from the big line off the washer pump which can come loose. It may be easiest to check out when the front valence is removed. Jack up the front first and see if you can reach in there from below.

Somewhere in 53-59 lies your problem.

Well, it can't be the muffler bearings, because the post purchase inspection that I wisely sprung for (why get a pre-purchase inspection and pay good money to help someone else discover their problems?) that they were in top shape.

What really sucked was how expensive it was to change the coolant.
