Default Windshield washer fluid leak

My 1988 Vanden Plas is leaking windsheild washer fluid. The leak appears to be coming directly from beneath the plastic resevoir. How do I access the hose connections to the resevoir? I can't see any access from underneath the car. Thanks in advance.

Pull off the plastic undertray, you can also detach the plastic inner fender liner for access. Get in touch if you need a reservoir, it is probably cracked and they are not easy to successfully repair.

I have accessed the reservoir bottle, and now I need help. There is an electrical part that pushes down into a rubber grommet in the bottle and it leaks when I put water into the lower half of the bottle. There is also another electrical part disconnected that appears to connect to the headlight washers. The hose leading to the windsheild is also disconnected. Obviously all of these disconnections are surely going to leak, but it is clearly leaking from around the electrical part that pushes down into the bottle.
I'm not sure how everything should connect. Does anyone know where I can get a diagram or a manual showing how the system connects?
