Default 97 Stratus Wiper Fluid Reservoir Replacing?

My Windshield washer fluid tank sprung a leak and I need to replace it, or at least get it out to have a look. I had a go at it once and took the front wheel off to go in through the fender area. I removed a couple of bolts (all I could see) but there was still something holding. Do I need to come in from the front side as well (remove bumper or something) or should I have just stuck it out a bit longer from the wheel well side?

Any tips are appreciated - thanks in advance!

I have a 1998 and I am on the hunt for the correct wiper pump and had to do what you have to do. There are two or three bolts. Been awhile, but I remember being in you're situation. I had to loosen part of the bumper and stick my hand and ratchet through the opening and there is a hidden bolt up on the support.

Mine sprung a leak as well, but thats from the bad pump which also had a bad seal.

I can try to get pics to help. But I can help you, I've been there, its just been a few months since I've torn into it.
