How about the reservoir cap? Does it matter on or off?
That is the way they are, if you had air it would always be spongy.
I had what I thought was a spongy pedal, I was told that it was OK. I even tried a new master cylinder, and it was still the same.
I leave the cap on loose. You do not want the oil splashing over the side.
