Hey this is great advice guys, thanks. The reservoir seems to be listed on a few sites so I will order one just in case. After 36 it’s probably due for replacement. And yes it’s a big leak. Just a heads up there was one domestically on parts avatar.ca I think and it was quite a bit cheaper, and listed 85 and up rather than 80-91. And didn’t look the same as the tanks on Go Westy and Van Cafe. I think Bus Depot was out of stock. So watch out for the parts avatar site, whatever that is.
