The reservoir in my 200 20V leaked from a crack in the nipple at the top
rear. If the top were an analog clock, and you are looking at it from
the (US) driver's side, the nipple would be at 7 o'clock or so. When I
removed the reservoir to replace it, the hose going to the nipple was
about an inch too long, which I think put pressure on the nipple,
causing it to crack.

But that location wouldn't drip onto the intercooler.
