And both of mine had or developed leaks, and the problem in each case was the little lengths of "vacuum hose" that connect the stuff under the tank with the little saddle tanks. I'd certainly see if they're weeping before getting underneath -- they can be replaced from the wheel wells. If they're originals they'll have crimp-type clamps on them; don't put any bending stress on the plastic tubes while removing them. I used Dremel with a right-angle head and thin cutting wheel.
