Yep, the check valves are located right at the bottom of the reservoir about
2" of hose away from the pump bodies.  I say bodies (plural) because some
models have 2 pumps, one for the windshield and headlights (teed together)
and a seperate pump for the rear window.  I believe that you can get at them
by removing the plastic lower cover that is in the extreme forward right
side in front of, and below,  the wheel well.  If not you would have to
remove the wheel and the well liner for the front right wheel.

It doesn't leak "right out" though, it usually takes a few hours beforer the
tank empties itself.
