Does anyone know where I can get one? It’s the tank behind the license plate. I believe it was originally metal with 2 ears? Thanx in advance

Mine is original and is a plastic flip top cap -- it isn't pressurized.

I've chased this down a few times as mine leaks, and the part number is still available as a windshield wiper fluid container cap, but in the pictures it looks like it might not fit so I have not gone that root yet. The other option is to replace the overflow tank entirely with a late model tank as I think it could be adapted. For now I just top up my tank every so often.

Good luck!
