Your local Lexus junk yard (auto recycler) is one thought.

If memory serves, that washer bottle is made of HDPE (high density polyurethane). If it's just cracked or split, you can "weld" it back together fairly easily. Because HDPE is almost impervious to contact cement, epoxy, or superglue, it is impossible to repair using conventional adhesives. Using an old style soldering iron (the bigger the better) and a few strips cut from a plastic milk jug (better, a thicker food container) you can join the broken pieces with heat and a bit of HDPE "rod" to make a permanent repair.

You might buy a couple Tupperware bowls at a swap meet to practice on, because a clean joint is an acquired skill. (You can always cut them up to use for your "welding rods" later. Your first joints may look pretty bad - usually due to overheating the work or moving too slowly. Hint: working on thick material is actually easier than thin stock that melts pretty quickly. You can blacken the material quicker than Chef Prudhomme can turn a redfish. I've repaired 40-gallon water tanks, and even built water and waste tanks for boats and RV's using this technique. These joints are stronger than the material itself, and with practice can be quite neat and clean. Mine were average, at best, but they survived years of hard service.

Before you invest in a new part, see what you can do with a little experimentation in your garage.

Duct tape.

In my uncle´s Caravan, we literally cut the side of a milk jug and ran the duct tape arond the area after putting an adhesive underneath.

Since duct tape is used in my bullhorn air intake, I have no qualms about doing this if my fluid reservoir sprung a leak.
