Um, if you have spongy pedals, and a leak in the line, it's because everytime you step on the pedal, it loses fluid, and everytime you let up on the pedal, the line will then suck air in to replace the lost fluid, causing your spongy brakes. This is very dangerous, I might add. Get it fixed ASAP.

It has nothing to do with the ABS, but it will still probably run you 2 to 300 bucks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, how long ago was this repair made? If he repaired the brake line and mucked it up, or didn't bleed the brakes properly, they SHOULD and in most cases absolutely would take it back and finish it up properly.

If it's been too long, they won't honor that, though. But if it's related to the previous repair (and assuming you don't have new problems with the brakes), it's got nothing at all to do with the ABS.

Maybe if you have an uncle or somebody who can help you bleed them, all you need is some garage type tools and brake fluid.
