I found it!!! Yeahhhh... Now I have to ask you guys,,, "what is it?" I pulled the wheel on the left side. I pulled the skirting, and fiddled with what turned out to be the washer pump. Well, that wasn't it, but "IT" was right in front of the washer pump. I ended up going up from in front of the car. After pulling the plastic skirting under the car, I found it. It is a Black cylinder. About 7" in length, and a couple of inches in diameter. It is on a brassy looking mount, with rubber bushings. It has an electrical plug on one end, and a large (3/4" ish) hose on the other end. It doesn't look like it will be too hard to remove, but I need to know if anyone knows what it is called, and if I start taking hoses and crap off will it blow oil or anything all over the place. Basically, are there any precautions that I should be taking? Thanks in advance...
