Default ABS pump, not module

When i pump the brakes, fluid is leaking from the bottom of the abs pump pretty bad. I have done some searching and found alot of info on the module commonly failing and getting it rebuilt, but that is fine, there is no abs light. Im hoping there is just a line on the bottom that is leaking that can be replaced without buying a new unit. Im debating on if I should bring it to a shop or not since I dont have the vagcom to bleed the pump. Any tips? Of course just as I thought the car was done and I was ready to bring it to its first autox this weekend

So it turns out its actually leaking from one of the rubber plugs on the side opposite of the module. The plug doesn't look dried up or damaged. Anyone know if I can fix it without buying a pump and what may have caused it, possibally the stoptech brakes causing extra pressure on the system?
