Default what is wrong with this

my wife uses our 99 blazer for the mail route and now shes leaking brake fluid.the lines come out of master cylinder and go into the box next to it.im assuming this is for abs?well now i see a little bit of brake fluid is leaking out the little hole on the end of it.i had her pump the brakes and a little fluid came out of it.what is the proper name for this and is that bad or my master cylinder?ive searched for this problem but came up blank.
thanks for any help its greatly appreciated!

That would be the ABS module and it should not be leaking any fluid.

The lines from the master cylinder first go to the proportioning valve which can be serviced separately from the ABS unit. If brake fluid is leaking from the rubber cap, the valve is leaking and needs to be replaced.

Part #4 is the ABS modulator and should not leak at all. It's usually referred to as the EBCM, (Electronic Brake Control Module). If it leaks, replace it. There are places online that you send them yours and they send you a remanufactured unit. Or you can try a boneyard.
