A friend's SC430 is losing windshield washer fluid, looks like there is a leak. I am missing the section regarding the washer reservoir replacement in my manual.
Can somebody please post the pdf please for replacing the washer reservoir?
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't look like it covers the reservoir in terms of removal though

Yes it does help, it shows the washer tank location.
But I am concerned that this issue is more prevalent. I am happy mine's not leaking but there are a few of them which are. My friend's too.
Means the bumper has to come off to have a decent evaluation where the leak is. The fix would be simple as plugging the leak or even a disconnected hose, etc. No need to get a new washer tank.
Thanks a lot Dave.

Just FYI for anyone. My washer fluid was also running straight to the ground when I bought it. Turned out to be the small plastic tube running to the headlight washer. It's very thin diameter hard plastic and susceptible to freezing. Looks like the previous owner poured plain water in the windshield washer reservoir before last winter. Make sure the washer fluid you put in won't freeze!
