I say bodies (plural) because some models have 2 pumps, one for the windshield and headlights (teed together) and a seperate pump for the rear window. I believe that you can get at them by removing the plastic lower cover that is in the extreme forward right side in front of, and below, the wheel well. If not you would have to remove the wheel and the well liner for the front right wheel. It doesn't leak "right out" though, it usually takes a few hours beforer the tank empties itself.
