That's a new one on me.... Do you have power steering? It looks like some sort of reservoir, but I've never had a 7 with power steering so I can't really say. It can't be the washer fluid or coolant though. So that pretty much leaves power steering...

Not powersteering, that tank is built onto the pump. Since you have a Canadian model perhaps it's for the headlight washers.

I have headlight washers, but they will be removed one day. I have never used them, mainly because I didnt know how until recently, but I doubt they are very useful. It woud be the same as spraying yourwindsheild without using the wipers.
