940 windshield washer tank removal?

hi new to volvo and this one has a leak in the washer tank. i can't figure out the best way to remove it for repair or replacement. it looks like if i take the airbox out by unbolting the bracket that connects to the inner fender i can just lift it out. Maybe if i remove the entire headlamp assembly i could lift it out there.

? is which way does this get approached best? tia Steve

Just remove the airbox, that's the simplest way. Are you sure the reservoir is leaking? Perhaps it is simply a hose has slipped off one of the barbs, but you'll find that out once you get the airbox off.

Ok results are in for those that may want them. First of all let me say that access to the tank is almost straightforward. It's a press fit rubber grometts pull out some elbow muscle is required after removing intake runner and pipe on bottom.

I got access to the tank, removed the pump, put that aside and the tank came out of the bracket.

i didn't see any cracks or holes but did find a rubber gromett inside the tank and it fits nicely where the motor liquid pickup fits.....hummmmm. lines look good. plenty of crud flushed out, wham bam back together np, thanks RS :)
