3. Windshield Wiper Resevoir - It leaks. I removed it but can't find
anything
obvious. Might be the motor, but I can't figure out how to pull either one
of
the washer motors out of the reservoir. I thought I'd ask before I broke
them.
Wondering if the grommets are leaking.

Remove the reservoir, careful not to lose liquid.  You can then tell where
the leak is by the level in the reservoir, since the fittings (2 for the
windshield pump and 1 for headlamps) are at unique levels. The pumps
themselves can leak or can have bad seals to the bottle.  The bottle itself
can be cracked.  Most common are leaks at the clamps on the headlamp
lines -- there are 6 total and the 'single use' clamps effectively loosen as
the tubing hardens with age and changes dimension.

4. Wheels - All four OEM wheels have some curb damage. Are they fixable?
Should I bother or buy something aftermarket. Don't want to spend big bucks
here. I'm inclined to get them fixed if possible to keep the stock look and
the price reasonable.

I used independent shop in Seattle to remove road rash from my 6 spoke
factory rims; very nearly undetectable ('perfect' by most people's
standards) and $40 price each, as I recall -- same day service.  Contact
Corey Youngren at Foster's Wheel Service in Ballard.  They moved, old number
was 206 782 7728.  I drop shipped tires to him from Tire Rack and he also
straightened two wheels for me.  Cost effective and I'm satisfied.  (no
