Reservoir?

Does anybody know where to get a reservoir, expansion tank, overflow tank? Not sure what to call it but mine started leaking. Clay hasn't gotten back to me, not sure who else to check.

That's what I was thinking Darin, I've put three in there (all used) and they haven't lasted long. That's very generous Bill and George (I haven't even talked to him, LOL) but I'm going to get a new one. I thought of useing that Maire-Tex on it but I'm tired of trying to repair them.

Talk about timing. After several years of ignoring the recall notice on the speed control switch on the MC, I went to Fords. They put it on in five minutes. We were talking about the new pickups and MINE IS DRIPPING on their driveway!! At first he asked me to go to the waiting room and I said if I did they wouldn't get the job done. Why he asks, because when I installed the IC I had to bend the release lever a little and only I can get it open. HAHA

Reps sent Bill. Mike, I don't know how to send you a rep to give to George that wouldn't be on your rep sheet instead of on George's??

If you've already done three used, I would go with a new one too.

I sort of want to replace mine just because it's all stained up. It's somewhat challenging to see the level.

Edit: It looks to me like the part number is F6TZ8A080EA
