ABS on a '90 Prelude

    I recently had an instance where, after a slight softening of the
    brake pedal, the ABS light came on, and when I checked under the hood
    there was brake fluid all over the exterior of the ABS reservoir. My
    regular mechanic had replaced the brake master cylinder only a month
    prior, and neither one of us felt the problem was due to
    that....UNLESS there was a change of debris contaminating the ABS
    brake lines, but I'm not aware that the regular and ABS share fluid as
    such.

    At any rate, I topped off the ABS reservoir, and the ABS light has not
    come on again (except during typical system check at start up, and
    then goes right off).

    Mechanic spoke with a fellow tech who works heavily on Honda, and he
    thought a solenoid int he ABS may be showing signs of failure. If so,
    can this be repaired without a total ABS rebuild, and at what cost? My
    mechanic was still looking into this. I did speak with a Honda
    dealership and they said they would just rebuild the whole ABS system
    for $1700.

    TIA
