Beach, the common problem on brake systems with accumulators and pumps when they have high mileage is wear and tear.
The accumulator breaks down and can't hold pressure. The ABS pump motor which builds up pressure in the accumulator has bushings that wear down, so those things start to act oddly too.
A new accumulator seems to be around $200. The ABS pump just needs some cleaning and replacing the bushings, but you'll have to push out the bearings to get to the bushings on some models. A new ABS actuator is around $600-$1,000 on Toyotas.
I would just shop around exclusively for an accumulator most similar to the one in your car model and just replace that. You just simply twist it off.
