Has a pipe come undone anywhere?
I know from my car (Volvo 850) if the pipes freeze up in winter and you try to use the washer sometimes the pressure can blow a joint off.
Also with my old E36 318ti compact the jets can become blocked and need cleaning. The rear wash jet thingy was attached to the wiper arm and unclipped. Pull the pipe off and stick a pin in the nozzles. Also blowing through it might help. You'll know if it is this just by just unplugging the pipe and giving the wiper stalk a flick. If water comes out the pipe it's the nozzle.
That's as much as I can remember.

either that or the one way valve has collapsed, easily rectified though.
