are you sure that it is leaking?? you sure its just not getting overfilled?? just a thought.

i have my stock one. don't really need it. i'd sell it to you for cheap buy shipping to the other side of hte country might give you second thoughts.

with that said, you might want to try the dealer or even the junk yard if you know any. replacement of the tank is pretty easy. disconnect the line that goes from the radiator to the tank and then just pull up on the tank to remove. after that, just drop back in the new tank, connect the line and refill.

they do sell unversal aftermarket ones. i got mine from another member here. its made by weapon-r. it does the job.

According to this website, they cost about $25.32 from the dealer, but then they also sell them on the same site for $19.75 plus shipping. Looks like you'd probably be better off getting one from the dealer if the price is the same. But here's the site:http://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html ('http://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html')
The link will take you the the main page. Just go under the Mechanical parts section and enter your year and model. Then look under the "Cooling system", there you should see reservoir listed. Hope that helps out a bit.
