they are held in by two very simple, easy to get to bolts. Sounds like the bottom of the jug is cracked and you are making a run to a bone yard to me. It happens, nothing to panic over. If you can use plastic weld, it my be fixable, but just as cheap to pull a non-cracked one out of a junkyard.

just a hose, and pulls right off with ease. least mine did. Replacing the washer fluid resevoir is simple, just take your time and you should have it done in like 4 minutes.

now see, that is handy information to have. Can you take a picture of your engine bay so we can see it?
