abs brake problem

I have a 1990 Se with antilock brakes this afternoon my brakes went out the pedel went straight to the floor after checking each wheel for the fluid leak I open the hood and found that my fluid leak was coming from what appears to be the abs control center it is on the passenger side of the engine bay and all the brake lines connect my leak seem to be coming from a bad gasket fluid spits out between the two sections were the bolt connect the sections together. My question, is there a gasket kit for that abs control or should I go to the the junk yard and get another whole unit. Please help and thanks in advance

I just had the same problem. Very expensive to fix, like $700. I couldn't believe it. I never heard of this being a problem on our cars. That money could have been put towards alot of mods. Sorry just venting.

Got mine for $150 from Dixon Auto Wreckers via car-part.com and installed it in about an hour. You will have to bleed the brakelines of air when you are done. I figured I could get 5 or 6 used ones and possibly find one good one for less than the $900 the dealer wanted. Its not hard to do, just disconnect the wires, and the lines. The hardest part is wriggling it out. Some remove the bracket and the pump, I just removed the pump.
