	The reservoir on mine wept all the time when I first
	got the car : the grommets  were all mush.  There was
	also lots of black grommet detritus in the reservoir
	itself.

	Replacing the grommets was actually quite simple on my car ('85
	5000ST): yank the reservoir, replace the grommets ($2) and
	push the reservoir back on.  Have to be careful with
	the fluid, of course.  While I had the reservoir off, I
	cleaned it out thoroughly with soap and water and dried
	it overnight and then again with a hair dryer.  Put it
	back on and refilled it with fresh fluid: 8 months now
	and it's working fine.
