Default Drilled into W/S Washer Tank?!?!?!

I confess stupidity......drilled into the w/s washer tank that is "hidden" in the fender of '98 Sport. Was installing fender flares and sprung a leak with the drill bit. The tank is hung between the inner and outer fender and the only way I see to get to it is by removing the inner fender and reaching up. Is there a "trick" to getting them out and has anyone successfully patched a hole in one?

I'd imagine to patch it all you have to do is clean up the area, and snot some silicone on it....

You will have fun with me then, I type terribly.

To stop curious minds I was trimming the lower panel of the front bumper off and hit the res, with the blade.

I just got my Liberty lifet yesterday, sawzall will come back out agian so I can clear 265/75/16's.
