Default abs tank empty

i had my abs system replaced a year ago at the dealership and then 10 months later it went again. the abs light is on and the tank is empty. when i fill it it leaks all over. it looks like it leaks from where the lines connect into the motor. is it worth getting fixed again or is it possible to just pull it out? thanks for the help

Are the lines tight? Crossthreaded? Cracked lines? If that's where it's leaking it should be easy to figure out.

If you don't want ABS anymore, just pull the fuses.

The brake lines would have to be modified or replaced. Also I think you would need to install a proportioning valve since the ABS modulator performs it's function. (I think so on your model but i'm not 100% sure.)
