It's your ABC fluid there's a component of the system in the fender behind the wheel well. Mine was leaking the but it was only the seal on the hose connection start there. Do a search there are a few threads about this.

Pulsation dampener or accumulator. Probably time to replace all of them and to replace the hydraulic lines too. This is gonna sting.

That's not a crazy price. I replaced my pump myself and it's not a fun job. I think I paid around $850 for a new pump and then around $70 for fluid. I had the old one rebuilt for $350 through Rock Auto (Cardone) and then sold it for $550 so I made a little bit back.

An oil leak on a 15 year old car is not a big deal. ABC has advantages when working properly but does eventually fail. If your is properly fixed now, it should be reliable for quite a while.

He ordered the pump and it cost him $1.9k Euro. If that included install, it's not a bad price for a new pump with installation. If just the pump, he could have gotten one much cheaper.
