ABC - hose leak
service manager told me that there is a leak on the ABC hose. no other details (will come later).
want to know if this means that I need to change a hose or the complete system?
Thanks,

The problem with waiting is that it can case more damage. Let's say you are in the middle of no where or stuck in traffic and a hose blows. If you don't shut the car down immediately, you will grenade your ABC pump and cause thousands of tiny metal particles to contaminate your entire system. I would go ahead and replace all the hoses and accumulators.
There is just no way around the failures. It is going to happen in a matter of time. Money spent now will save much more later and will also save you time lost dealing with a breakdown.
