Default Windshield Washer Solvent Reservoir

My washer solvent reservoir is cracked and leaking. It appears as though I need to pull the wheel and take out the inner fender, but I'm not sure. The other issue I've having is this: who in the world sells this other than a dealership?? I cannot find it for the life of me. Thanks in advance for the advice!

Not sure who sells them but yeah you need to take off the wheel well to gain access to it. I dont think you need to remove the fender but im not 100% on that.

You might find one on eBay or a salvage yard is a good place.

Storm - thanks, I appreciate the response. MultiJeep, I have looked through salvage yards with no luck, unfortunately. I will be checking eBay though. Thanks for the response!

Make sure its the tank that's leaking.
I thought mine was leaking, pull the tank, and it turns out that there was a elbow connector that went from the tank to the shooters on the hood that had cracked, running on the outside of the line and dripping to make it look like the tank.

Turns out, I have this problem too. I've filled the reservoir just to find it empty 2 days later.

I've been watching Ebay with no luck and the local pull and pay only puts out older vehicles(up to '94) which doesn't help me much with my '01.

Maybe, if the weather gets a little more friendly, I'll try to pull it to look for leaks. Besides I have some fog lights to put on.

You can get a new reservoir from wholesalemopar.com for between $45 & $55 depending if it has the level sensor in it. Part number seems to be 4778344 or 4778345. I'd call them to confirm which is which as I think the numbers may be backwards. (For some reason they list the unit with the sensor as the cheaper part.)
