How to take the pump/grommet out? Can those be carefully pulled up after disconnecting wire connector? Or, do I need to remove headlamp, then upper cross member prior to remove the reservoir? Then, how to install new grommet? I'm aware of the reservoir can be brittle with almost 18 years of use. Please advise how to fix this issue, everything here is original as I'm the original owner. I'm almost certain the leak is from the seal at grommet, as both pumps are working as they should, IMO. I searched for the same symptoms on forum posts, it had been advised to drain the reservoir to prevent from further damaging the ABS pump below, pumped all the fluid out. I just moved to this area from CA, this area has been unusually cold for my first winter here, have been using cheap -25F blue De-Icer from WalMart, I'll not use that again! Note bubbles at the base of pump, it's dripping from there straight down. Checked the reservoir area and fluid is leaking at the grommet area as shown in the photo below. Just noticed my window wiper fluid is very low after a few days of top-off.
