07 Fit Rear Wiper Fluid Hose Replacement

I just started driving my daughter's 2007 Fit and noticed the wiper fluid reservoir leaked. As you can see in the photo, one hose attached to the reservoir is missing. It appears to be the hose to the rear window sprayer as the windshield sprayer is working.
If I got a replacement hose, I can't find where to attach the far end. Would any of you have any ideas?
Or, if I don't replace the hose, anyone have some ideas how to cap off the nipple without ruining it in case I want to replace it later?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Install hose on the nipple, get the end higher than the level of the reservoir and stuff something (a small bolt?) in the end to cork the hose until you can locate the rest of the rear hose to connect with.

The hose should route from the washer tank, upward (looking at a simple line drawing it looks like either above the plastic fender liner or just inside the engine compartment), to the interior, up the passengers side A pillar next to the windshield and on above the headliner to the rear

I don't have a real car to look at right now.
