Default Washer reservoir replacement

How big of a job is it to replace the washer reservoir in a 91 coupe?The one in the car leaks out completely. Is there an easier fix?

Are you sure it is the bottle? Mine had a hole in the hose just below the bottle. I spliced in another piece and now it does not leak.

Easy job, just remove the right hand fender. You *may* also have to remove the rear right wheel well liner, I can't remember if there is enough access with it in place to remove the tank.

Haven't checked the hose, just know that the water runs right thru it when poured in the bottle. I'll check it tho
