Coolant reservoir
I shall be having my 3d coolant overflow reservoir installed.
#1 leaked after 1 year and #2 after 6 months. Are there any aftermarket reservoirs where you can see the level, unlike the current aluminum version that requires you to open the cap? Many thanks

The syntax in my post wasn't the best. The aluminum tank out there is an after-market item. The OEM tanks are indeed plastic. I'm going to let out a few expletives if tank #3 (installed last week) springs a leak!
