my storage tank for the windshield washer fluid is leaking . and for the life of me I can't seem to find the leak. How does this animal come out.

3 nuts to remove. (1 on bottom is hard to see). I think they're 10mm.
Disconnect the electrical plug and washer fluid line.
Lift it off of the 3 bare studs and remove.

Fwiw. Other folks have posted up about theirs leaking around the washer pump grommet.

Most likely the internal pump seal has failed. The pump is a friction fit; just pull the top out and the bottom sticks in the hole, with a grommet. No need to remove the tank.
