ABS leak
It appears that my abs unit on my 1998 convertible is leaking. It appears to be coming from the bottom of the pump. What are my options? Can it be repaired or have to be replaced?

Has the car thrown any ABS codes, "service ABS" etc?
I've never had a leak at the ABS pump so can't help much but recall seeing one on the internet that had eventually leaked into the EBCM area and pretty much wiped it out. If it were my car I'd park it until I could dismantle the unit and try to find out where the leak is actually occuring. It might be easy to fix, or not. The pumps are expensive but easily sourced. The EBCM's are unobtainable at just about any price so don't let that side get damage!
Pictures would be nice. It would help everyone to document this problem.
