I can tell I'm not up to speed on this one, because I don't recall them having a seperate resevoir for the ABS...are you sure about that part? And the ABS system consists of many components, which is he thinking is the problem? There's a pump, accumulator, valve body, solenoids, etc...would need more info...and you do too, if you don't wanna get ripped...
It is normal for brake fluid level to drop slowly as the linings wear, at a point this would trigger the "Brake" indicator, adding fluid would put it out...are we certain it's the ABS we're talking about?
