Default How to get to or remove the washer reservoir?

I had an Oh deer this weekend.

I had stand on the brakes to stop in time, but the baby bambi hit the front the front right bumper and ran off.

Other than frayed nerves, right marker popped out of the bumper and low washer level came on. The reservoir is not busted as it is not leaking and the pump/spray is fine. I need to get to the sensor and need input from people who have accessed the reservoir. Do I remove the front bumper or bottom panel or the inner wheel liner?

Bottom panel will work just fine, though this photo shows the the area exposed without the bumper also, after I took out the reservoir.

Glad you didnt do massive damage to your vehicle and you were not hurt. Those damn deer are so stupid!

Update:

I just poked from the air vent and wiggled the connector and the low-washer-fluid light went out.
