Our CRV was in for B service this week and the tech found that the reservoir leaks. Honda says that it will cost nearly $400 to replace and HondaParts says that the reservoir is a $20 part so I'm wondering about replacing it myself. Is that (easily) doable? I'm reasonably handy but don't have any automotive-specific tools

It might also make sense to leave the reservoir as-is. The leak apparently was a result of a minor accident where the front right was slightly crumpled just a little behind the bumper. That was nearly a year ago and we hadn't noticed the leak since both front and rear washers work fine.

Starting to sound like another 2020 CRV "quirk." When you guys replace that reservoir make a detailed easy to follow plan for the rest of us 2020 CRV owners.:confused:. My bumper should be easier to remove since the dealer already had it off to repair the quirky AC system, I would imagine half my bumper clips are already broken for me.
