    I finally got around to doing the tire carrier recall check and just got the report. They want to spray my frame now, after not doing it in 2010.

    They also said the valve cover leaks (straightforward enough fix) and the ABS actuator leaks.

    Does anyone have info on fixing the ABS? I couldn't find much through Google.

    Does the ABS leak internally, or externally?

    An internal leak presents itself as a squishy pedal, much like a bad master cylinder. An external leak I would imagine would be visible to you, and probably where one of the lines threads into it. 10mm wrench, I think.

    It's external and front what I've read, only presents a problem when the abs kicks in, that's why I haven't noticed anything in the pedal.

    I assume that it's leaking where one of the brake lines connects. Have you tried tightening them? I think it's odd that it would start leaking there, though.
