Washer fluid tank leaks...bad

It looks like there's a drain on the bottom and it's missing the stopper that holds the fluid in the tank. anyone else ever had this problem? It might have a crack in it, it's really hard to see up in there.

Unless the hose goes on to that nipple...maybe that's the problem?

been a couple years since I've looked at one. I always pulled the fender. I remember a hose and pump on the bottom.of the tank.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
