Default Cracked windshield fluid reservoir

I have a 2011 veracruz that just spilled an entire gallon of wiper fluid when I filled it up. Pretty sure it's cracked. I'm somewhat new to fixing things on my car but I'm trying to save myself some money if possible. What tools would I need to do this job and how would I do it? I've read some other hyundai threads and I know I have to disconnect the battery. But instructions can be different for different models of cars so here I am.

If you are sure it is cracked, you could always get a new bottle from Hyundai. They could be the most expensive for a new container, but you will get the right part the first time and that is worth something.

If you can see the crack , you would remove a few fasteners clean the cracked area,and apply a special adhesive made for that type plastic because most usual adhesives will not stick to the material the bottle is made from.
If you purchase a replacement you will only remove and install once, Any other way there is the chance you will be doing the repair more than once.

Default Yes it's cracked

It is cracked just not fully. I can't see the crack but it spilled quite a lot of fluid out when I drained the entire gallon of wiper fluid in the reservoir. However, my fluid light isn't on yet so a decent amount must still be in there.
