R radiator reservoir leak help needed
Reservoir is leaking, seemingly around fitting to the passenger side, but I can't see where. Is this a common problem, and is the reservoir same for R and Non-R S-types (2003)? The R tank is over $300!!!

RE: R radiator reservoir leak help needed
Mine is an ordinary 2000 S-Type 3L and in May of 2006
I paid exactly $142 for the replacement coolant tank -- brand new --at
my local dealership. It has workedperfect for a year and some 12Kmi.
I did the work myself...the worst part is drilling out the big crossbar
bolts that I could not loosen up, and tapping them for the new bolts.
This cross bar is under a plastic cowl, so it does not show when done.
Best regards,

Thanks all; replaced it today in about an hour. Hardest part is getting a hand onto the retainer clip, otherwise pretty easy and straightforward. BTW, bottle was 110.
