Checked my coolant level the other day and noticed I was down around the min mark and decided to add some coolant. The next morning noticed coolant on the garage floor below the coolant reservoir. Looks like I might have a leak in the resrvoir and I think it maybe the sight glass on the reservior. Has anyone else had this problem and any recommended fixes?

Is that the new one with the molded in sight glass? I think that came out in '93 though. I would suggest a new one either way. The part # is 17 11 1 464 650, and the hose required is 17 11 1 152 866. I can't get the price right now, but I don't think they cost alot...maybe $35 or something?
Could just be the hose at the bottom though...split in it or something.
 
Reservoir Type

This one has the integrated sight glass on the side vice a separate clear tube.
