The windshield easher reservoir has three attachment points. One at the top and two near the bottom. The attachment on the top should be straight forward to remove. The bottom is attached to the car body through two rods penetrating the plastic bottle. All three are not easy to take apart. The bottom two are especially difficuly. There is a 10 mm nut on each rod. But there isn't much room.
But the good news is if your bottle leaks at where the rod penetrate the body (my guess is the rear rod), you don't have to remove the bottle. In fact, you don't want to remove it. My reason folows.
Remove the passenger side front wheel and the plastic wheel liner to expose the reservoir. Open the cap for the reservoir to let it dry. Mix those two part epoxy (I use PC7) and spread it liberally on the cracked surface. You are done. Wait at least a day before refilling. The epoxy only has to resist a foot of hydro-static pressure so it should hold.
Of course you can remove the reservoir and do it on the bench thinking you'll be doing a better job. The problem comes when you fit it back up. Because of the tight space, you are likely to bend the rod against the plastic reservoir and crack the cured joint again.
