This may be a dumb question, but upon first look, it doesnt look very easy to get to the reservoir tank. I am trying to track down where I am losing coolant from, and I think it may be the culprit. Anybody know an easy way to do this?? TIA

 

Take out the battery. It is right underneath of the battery holder. I had the same prob. The alluminum pipe running from the radiator to the resivoir had a tiny -little -itty -bitty crack in it. Cost about 15$ to repair it.

 

ok, so there is a piece on the back of the battery that holds it in place...how do I get to that screw to remove the battery? I have it disconnected already...I cant get down into that space to loosen it..

 

use a long socket extension

 

after i pulled the battery out, I can see coolant on the battery tray and I know that the coolant is leaking from somewhere on the passenger side area. There is also coolant inside the passenger wheel well, so i figured it was probably coming from the reservoir. I pulled it out and filled it up and it doesnt appear to be leaking from anywhere, but it was completely empty when I pulled it out. Where else could the coolant be leaking from??

 

Check the aluminum tube like Atilla said, it may be a hairline fracture and be causing the leak
