washer fluid resevoir leaking...has anyone tired pulling it and using

a silicone caulk (or similar) to repair Vs. replace? Did it work?

Are you sure the reservoir is leaking? The pumps can leak as well as

the headlight washers. Where is the source of the fluid loss?

2nd. Remove washer pump for headlights and jam a tire valve stem in its place.

Recently had to replace the pumps - that is where mine was leaking from...

I had to take the whole left front fender liner and such all out - real PIA!. Took the pumps apart and they were so badly corroded I had to replace the pumps. Everything has new electrical fittings and again so much extra work to get it done. Put it all together and now all is good!
