ABS can be the sensors the computor or the modulator ....
They can run a scan and tell you what it might be ...

ok it was low(down to the bottom of the bracket) was hoping that wasnt it cuz i had to take strut bar off halfway to get my cap off...lol...so im thinking i prolly i have a leaky wheel cylinder(cheapest problem..)
i took it out last night and hammered on the brakes and only fronts locked up so ima go outside and jack up the rear a lil later and find out whats up witht he rear brakes i thought the braking was a lil subpar anywayz. ill let you guyz know whats going on..thnx again guyz..

brake fluid can and does boil off ... It might not be a leak .... just not checked in awhile ... it's normal for the fronts to lock up first ... since 75% of the braking is done there ...

...to add to that...as the pads wear down, the fluid follows. A set of low pads = a lower fluid level. It's a good idea to check the pads all the way around too.
