I assume your referring to the rear wheels the abs module is mounted on top of the axle in center between the wheels. You more likely to have a loose pinion . The nut most be checked ASAP. The drive shaft has to be removed to tighten. First find the plug on the rear end either a rubber plug you can see from the reason car looking at the rear axle. Sometimes a square plug or a bolt head . If the rear axle cover is smooth the the plug will be on the side of the rear end close to the driveshaft . Either way your leak needs immediate attention or your rearend can fail leaving you stranded and expensive to fix. It will need gear oil check your manual for the exact type. But if any of this is too involved take it to a reputable repair shop it will save you a lot of money because by now you are wearing the bearings causing the abs to light up
Its the front axle. Rear is not leaking anything. Not down the lines. Differential fluid is full and brake fluid needed less than a splashIts the front axle. Rear is not leaking anything. Not down the lines. Differential fluid is full and brake fluid needed less than a splash

Brake fluid needs to be checked. Sounds like its leaking from the line
