Default Abs Problem

ABS PROBLEM:
I have a 1994 GS-R in good running order. Starting last night when I started my car after work there was a “buzzing” that lasted for about a minute followed the ABS light illuminating. I came home and consulted both the forums and my Haynes repair manual. I learned that the “buzzing” noise was the ABS system trying to pressurize. The cause for this usually being a failing o-ring located beneath the accumulator. Sure enough, there was brake fluid beneath the ABS system as well as a small amount of spotting on the ground under the head light assembly. Just for practicality’s sake I also go the trouble code from the ABS system (it was a Main Code 1 with no sub code indicating “pump motor over-run”). This error would make sense, given that the abs system can pressurize if it is leaking. If it is in fact a failed o-ring beneath the accumulator is this something I should try to replace? I am fairly competent when it comes to cars, but have never worked on an ABS system before. Any help/ advice would be much appreciated.
