Best source for the part?

I've already bought one of these:
They tend to, but they can also leak near the rear tire as well. Check under the trunk carpeting, which you will need to remove anyway to get at it to change it out. If the trunk is dry, look up from below at where the tank connection hoses go thu the firewall, it could be one of those as well. While under the car, check the overflow line as well for wetness, if you just had an air pocket due to dumping coolant, you should be able to see dampness on the line.

Regarless of what failed, go with Sunset for the parts.
