Hey there, I hit the right passenger side of the bumper hard enough to crack my headlight and whatever the reservoir below it is. I can't seem to find the part described or listed in any of my repair manuals or parts sites and am lost. The car doesn't seem to have any low fluid levels and it in general functions perfectly but I'm leery about a mysterious reservoir being broken. I'm not even sure it is actually a reservoir but again I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help?

Overflow reservoir for the radiator. Should be connected to the top of the radiator, under the cap, by a small hose.

 

Its actually under the overflow reservoir for the radiator. That reservoir is actually perfectly fine and still holds plenty of coolant. The overflow reservoir is next to the headlight with a small tube like you said. This is near the bottom of the bumper on the side of the frame of the wheel well (can't actually access it normally through the hood).

Part of me is convinced it's just something structural for the bumper to clamp onto but I can't find it if it is.

It might be part of the air intake system. Check to see if it connects to the airbox where your air filter is.

 

There's only two. The coolant and windshield washer.

 

This is the air intake resonator chamber.

How did you sort it out if I may ask ?
