Default braking issues

So to make a long story short, I was driving and my brakes were pulsing as i tried to brake and after checking everything out, there is a part built into the ABS Modulator that is leaking fluid when I push on my brakes. At first I thought there was a bolt or plug missing from the way it looked, but its not threaded. I went to look on a buddy's lude and he actually doesn't have anything filling in the spot (such as a bolt or plug as i had thought), just no fluid comes out the hole. I was just wondering if anyone has had this experience, or if someone would know if it is safe to just unplug (electrical plugs) the ABS for now so I can hopefully drive w/o ABS until I can figure out exactly what is going on.

Im trying to post pics but in case they don't show up correctly these are the links:

Thanks for your help

Pay a one hour shop fee and take it to your local honda dealer to get it daignosed, it sounds like the ABS system has some form of a weep hole on it.

the pulsing comes from warped rotors and I agree with taking it to the shop for abs problems.

who needs ABS? But I'd still get it diagnosed. I don't know a whole lot about the ABS sys, but if its leaking I'd pull the fuse and take it too a shop.
