So the ABS pump/control module has decided to start leaking on me. here's what i'm dealing with, the front brakes seem to be inop but the rears are still holding in there, not enough stopping power for me to drive my car around though. it's leaking from here:

It's a small hole and it had this black plastic cover that just popped off. when i press on the brakes fluid just shoots out of this thing like an open bleeder screw. any ideas?

I have had zero problems with my ABS. Does a socket fit in there? or maybe a Allen wrench. If it does try cracking it loose an tightening it back up. I would have checked mine but it looks like you have to take the bracket off and its too early in the morning for that.

Ok looked closer. Mine is different. It only has one line coming out of that side and only one small deep hole, not the wider shallow one. There is a plastic plug but its under a bracket. Sorry dude.

OK, so i've decided to just tear the sumbitch apart, i'll probably end up needing a new one anyway.

Any tips on a brake system teardown in general before i get started?
