The washer fluid is leaking from the rear driver's side, apparently from some kind of plastic in-line fitting. Does anyone know what it's for? Easily replaced?

I'm thinking that is the line supplying the rear wiper washer. I guess it doesn't work on your truck? The inline fitting is a coupler joining the two plastic hoses together.
Is the fitting itself cracked or is the hose just not fully seated?
If it isn't cracked, pull the hoses apart, wipe off the hose end and push them back together. If there's dirt in the hose it'll eventually be forced up the hose to the spray nozzle on the rear wiper. It'll probably clog up so just clean out the holes on the nozzle with a stick pin or something.
