Brake fluid under ABS unit after replacing SVS seal
I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this issue or might know what could be causing it because I'm stumped.
I purchased the shuttle valve seal kit from Falconworks as I was already replacing the modulator switch and I could tell there was a small leak happening over time because the coating on switch wires was starting to break down. After doing that and then bleeding the brake system, I am now getting a very noticeable leak of brake fluid from the valves that is pooling underneath the ABS unit (picture attached). I know these are prone to leak, but never this much. I've taken it all apart again and inspected the valves and put new seals in and I'm still getting a leak, even before bleeding the brakes.
Any idea what could be causing this? Hoping I don't need to get a new ABS unit as it was not leaking this severely before.
Not trying to be a wiseass, but are you sure all your brake line fittings are tight? Any chance that when you moved the whole ABS block to get at the modulator you cracked a brake line?

Well I just replaced all the lines and pipes as well so those are all fine and torqued down. I can't see any brake fluid originating from the fittings, and when I took off the ABS unit the first time to figure out where the leak was coming from its pretty evident it's coming from one of the shuttle valves (as seen in the photo)
