Is it dangerous to drive with a leaking reservoir?

Not immediately dangerous, but it means slower adjustments and the compressor working harder to compensate, which can shorten its life — repair promptly.

Can a leaking reservoir be repaired instead of replaced?

For a small leak at a fitting, tightening or a new seal might resolve it, but a cracked tank itself needs replacement.

What is the reservoir made of?

A pressure-rated aluminium or steel tank.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
