Best Place to Buy...washer reservoir

[Kihon]

Best Place to Buy...washer reservoir for my 740IL? I noticed that Autohausaz.com does not carry them.

I thought about using epoxy on it, but someone tried jacking up the car and dented in the bottom, cracking it pretty badly.

Thanks for the replies. I'm trying to epoxy it first, I have a full tube of permatex two part clear epoxy, so I thought I'd give it a shot for the $4 first. I'll let you know.

Just replace. It will leak again.

Can anyone tell me what the very top 90 degree hose barb is? It's located right near the reservoir fill hole.

as soon as you overfill it it will spill there, that is why you can't fill it all the way to the top

Epoxy job worked. no leaks, didn't fill it all way up :)
