Yes there is a check valve in side the rear drivers side pannel in the cargo area but if you need a new one dont go to Nissan as they want nearly $40 for what looks like a small square of plastic bloody rip of just let it leak

Check valve is in the right side of the car, about behind the back doors in the side panel in the LWB, small plastic thing in the hose line it is...
Common as a 3.0 blowing up for these to fail.

crimp the hose, you probably never use the rear washer anyway.
i think one bloke got one from a large plumbing supply mob for a couple of bucks

Mine did exactly the same thing. I removed it and found it was just full of crap so cleaned it out with compressed air. good as new. Suggest you do the same before purchasing a new one.
