Default Wiper fluid reservoir leak

My 06 is leaking wiper fluid right where the pump plugs in to the plastic tank. It has a small drip about every 30 seconds. What's the easiest solution to this, buy a new pump or try and locate the rubber piece and replace that ?

Buy a can of the rain gutter sealer in a spray can that is advertised on TV. That stuff really does work for sealing a leak! Used it on a planters pot my wife had hanging, and it stopped dripping. It's like rubber; sprays on, then turns into a flexable type rubber.

Awh man, is it a possible hairline crack that I have? $20 ain’t too bad for replacing it but before I get a whole new tank, I’m curious how common the fail rate is on these tanks /:

That's what I was thinking, cracked tank.

A long time ago, my Cavalier had the same issue, crack in the reservoir. I used a soldering iron to melt the side together. Worked great.
