Default Audi S8 abs/esp sensor and hand brake malfunction

Hi All. Recently, I noticed that there was fluid on the inside of my near side wheel (green colour) of which shortly after my abs/esp light came up on the dash and the parking malfunction sound and symbol too came up!
I'm assuming that this pipe (which has a sensor at the end of it) has something to do with this problem? Can anybody shed any light on the situation? Can I simply go to an Audi dealer, get the part and reconnect to eliminate these lights?

Could you give a few more details? What pipe are you referring to? Any ABS fault will also disable the ESP and give you a parking brake malfunction warning as they all rely on one another.

Hi Aspen, thanks for your reply. It's the pipe that is connected to the rear of the Caliper. It's a single pipe that breaks off in to two pipes half way back up to near the shock abs? Any thoughts?
