Question 2001 s 500 wiper reservoir

My reservoir will not hold water: what is required to remove it and repair or replace it?

Where is the leak coming from??? Are you 100% sure it’s the tank? My experience has been that it’s usually the rubber line for the windshield washer that gets old and hardens where it attaches to the pump and leaks. Usually have to replace the lone and not the tank.

Every leak that I have had has been on the seal where the washer pump plugs into the tank. Up front, easy access.

Thumbs up Windshield wiper reservoir

Thanks turbonos7; my windshield squirters work fine if there is fluid in the tank.

mine too... until it all leaks out of the tank which is about a week. It’s a slow leak and you can see it drip slowly when parked.
