Default It's a bit of a pain...

Remove the front driver side wheel. Then take out the wheel well liner. You'll have to remove a couple torx screws where the bumper cover attatches back by the wheel, remove some plastic fasteners for the lower cover and a series of screws around the inside of the fender. Once you get rid of all that the reservoir can be removed but you'll have to unscrew your expansion tank and twist out the filler pipe from the top of the washer tank. Make sure you get the plastic shaft on the washer tank back into the circular rubber gromet behind the fender when reinstalling. Good luck.

Default That sounds a lot!!! How big of a gallon is down there??

I was refilling my tank last night and I ket pourong my 1 gallon liquid and it never seemed to fill up. I finally used up the whole gallon and few seconds later, it started to leak or drip from the fender. I'm not sure if there is a puncture in the tank or what but I couldn't figure it out. No big deal really!!!

Default I had a leak in the headlight washer tank.

Now THAT ***** holds about two gallons of fluid. After taking it out, fixing what I thought was the leak, putting back in, taking back out (cuz it still leaked) I put plastic weld ALL around the seam of the container. Reinstalled. SUCCESS - no leaks.
