Q: Spongy brake pedal

asked by on October 01, 2016

I was doing a front brake job on my 09 grand caravan and I noticed brake fluid coming out of the cap of the master cylinder when I was a pushing in the Pistons on the caliper with a C clamp. Was wondering if that could cause any of it damage the master cylinder because now it seems like I have a spongy brake pedal and increased stopping distance.

My car has 204000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
