I need to replace the windshield washer reservoir on my 2008 Trailblazer. Searching the web I'm having difficulty determining which part to get. My vehicle does not have wipers on the headlights and does not have an idiot light to warn me I'm running low.
I think I just need the reservoir itself but if it's available as an assembly I'd be interested.
I don't know exactly where the leak is, only that the fluid runs out somewhere as quickly as I dump it in. I realized this in the middle of a snow storm and haven't yet had a chance to crawl under the car.
What do I need to know in order to get the correct part?
As for replacing the part, it appears to be just a matter of removing the airbox first and then changing the reservoir. I'm an experienced technician in another field and am used to fixing things a DIYer worked on first but my automotive experience is limited.

Blazer, I don't think it's available as a whole assembly, Sounds like the tank may have cracked but you won't know until you take a look. Cross your fingers that it's a hose problem. Good luck.

Even if the tank is cracked. 2ton 2 part epoxy from walmart will fix it. I have used this stuff for numerous repairs.

when you find the leak then ask questions.
if you cannot find an odd ball part you call the scrap yard............
