Tried searching it out first, but didn't really come up with any answers. ABS warning and BRAKE light accompanied by continuous annoying chime which others have reported happening to them as well. It appears as if there is brake fluid on top of the fender well inside the engine bay directly under the reservoir/ABS modulator valve and in the wheel well and on the frame. Strange thing is that the warning lights/chime are random and the brakes feel completely normal. Also, I had it scanned at the parts store and there were no codes in the computer which would make me think bad relay or fuse if not for the presence of brake fluid in the engine bay. Any theories or suggestions from the MUD gurus would be greatly appreciated before I start throwing money at it.
 
Would be normal in case of a failing brake booster.

There is also this TSB:

There have been cases of failing boosters -- Search.

I think the most common is worn brushes on the motor, but also failing booster/valve has occured.
