Ford Probe 1994 2.0

I have a leak from the screen washer bottle .
How do you remove it. I understand you have to remove the wheel arch splash shield but how is the bottle attached on and what connections are there
Thanks

Few bolts and a electrical connector under the wheel arch (wheel off just do the front section on the arch panel pull back )
if you want to unscrew from the top and take the whole unit out ;)You may find its just the grommet on the pump motor ;)

Thanks for the help.
I peeled back the splash shield and the tube had become detached from the pump.
Having replaced it the low indicator light stays on. I read a previous post about removing and giving it a good clean as it has been untouched for 29 years.
There is a nut securing it at the top are there two at the bottom.

Thanks
