Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Engine coolant reservoir sprang a leak on the bottom side. there is about a 1-inch gap between the bottom of the bottle and the fender so rubbing against something was not the cause. i called a parts house who said they had replaced 3 of them in the past 2 weeks. seems like an odd coincidence the bottles leak. i've never seen one leak on any car i've ever owned.*ak
