ABS modulator blew up?

[Simons2k]

Discovered brake fluid all around the ABS resevoir and modulator. It also got some up underneath the hood. I'm afraid of the worse but hope maybe a high pressure hose or something just needs to be replaced.

I removed the 40amp fuse that operates the ABS just in case. Don't want to do anymore damage.

Anyone have had this happen to them?

Will I damage anything by driving with the ABS lamp on? I took out the 40amp fuse to dissable it.

Nope

Well, I decided to put the fuse back in to see what would happen and the modulator started pumping for about 30 sec. and stopped and started again a few times and finally stopped all together. I tested the ABS on a wet street and so far so good. I didn't have to add any brake fluid to the abs resevoir and it is at max capacity. Little weird but everything looks okay.

Make sure the ABS is excercised regularly (engage ABS at least once a month.) This helps prevent internal solenoid sticking in the system over time.
