Default Washer Reservoir Replacement

I just bought a 2009 RX350 and have a major leak in the front washer reservoir tank. Does anyone know what the procedure is to replace the tank?

Here is the procedure for washer motor removal, so I think washer jar just a few steps further.

From 08/2009 WIPER / WASHER: WASHER MOTOR (for Front Side):

REMOVAL

1. PRECAUTION (w/ Air Suspension)

NOTICE:Be sure to read Precaution thoroughly before servicing See: Steering and Suspension/Suspension/Service Precautions/Suspension Control System.

2. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL RH

3. REMOVE FRONT FENDER LINER RH

(a) Using a screwdriver, turn the pin 90 degrees and remove the 2 pin hold clips.

(b) Using a 4 mm hexagon wrench, remove the 4 hexagon screws.

(c) Remove the 7 clips and 6 screws. Text in Illustration

(d) Remove the 3 grommets and front fender liner RH. HINT

The grommets need to be replaced with new ones because they will break when they are removed.

4. DRAIN WASHER FLUID

(a) Disconnect the washer hose from the windshield washer motor and pump assembly,

and drain the washer fluid.

5. REMOVE FRONT WASHER MOTOR AND PUMP ASSEMBLY

(a) Disconnect the connector.

(b) Remove the windshield washer motor and pump assembly.

HINT
Use a container to collect the washer fluid
