I started experiencing some interesting brake fluid leakage on my '90 Q (12 oz. in a week) so i went to my guy and he advised me that i need to replace my ABS control module (installed, $1700) Wow. Now I really trust the guys who work on my Girl, but Jesus Christ Almighty. I am in the market for some info about this! any is appreciated. Thanks

Look in the Infiniti Parts forum. PopPop probably can get a good used one cheap and there are a couple of 90Q's being parted now. There were some issues with the 90 ABS units. Mine had been replaced on my 90Q when I bought it. Not sure if it was a recall or internal leakage and they cr@p out early. Somebody here will know specifics. Good luck.

Try changing the fluid first and see if the leak stops.My Dad's Q was doing that when he bought it, changed the brake fluid and the leak stopped. At least it's cheap, it's the first thing I would try since it worked for me back in the dark days...

Must swell the seals/O-rings.
