Windshield Washer Fluid Tank Leak

[sundev]

Just wondering what the fastest (not necessarily best) way to fix a washer fluid tank leak is? The car is a 1997 Hyundai Sonata if that helps at all.

Basically someone was using my car for a while, I get it back and try to spray the washer fluid... no go. I start to fill up the tank and i hear it leaking, and sure enough there is a puddle of washer fluid under the car.

Can I remove/check out the tank somehow without getting under the car?

Thanks for any help, I've posted here with my noob questions before and you guys helped me diagnose a breaker problem, so I thought I'd try again.

I'd use epoxy, just make sure to let it dry for the recommended time.

I'd just get a new reservoir.

Agree. Just replace it. They are not expensive ... only problem is some of them
have the pump at the bottom and can be tricky to remove and reinstall. Other
than that, it is the best and easiest way to go.

QFT, $33 on parts.com.

You can also find great ones at a U-Pick-It type place (www.car-part.com shows them from $12+...shipping would kill the deal though and I have found some vendors there exaggerate the condition).
