So, fixing the stuff I screwed up taking my motor out...I noticed the reservoir had some grud in the bottom of it when it drained out so I saw what looked like a nut on the bottom of it- figured I'd unscrew it and clean it out. Bad move. Something broke and now it leaks. Never did come apart. Any idea if this is repairable?

a bit of carb cleaner would have cleaned it without damaging it.

better go and get a new one. they are not "expensive" if your engine is a 4.3 or 5.0 I think use same part number
quicksilver 8M0075709 ← 806193A13 around $45.00
