ABS Hydraulic block leaking brake fluid. Tips on removing, repair and or replace. Every part of the unit is saturated with fluid. It’s not the newer block ez to get to. This unit is tucked in and away. Hard time figuring it out. Pretty sure it’s the motor seal that’s leaking

That’s an ugly job on the later models and I do recall earlier is worse. Do you have the two/three funny flat torx screws that hold it to the mount?

I just found another unit. Wanted to look at it before I started the process. Trying to determine if and what needs removed to replace and or repair. Not shy about the job. Just a shade tree mechanic. It appears accessibility is the issue. Master cylinder removed? Anybody who has done this before, enlighten please!
