    Depending on how long its been open, the brake fluid may have absorbed too much moisture from the air. That's why brake fluid must remain sealed.

    Might be a good time to do a brake fluid flush to be safe (good maintenance anyway if you haven't had one in a while, or ever). For the cap, dealer would be my first stop to see how much they would want.

    You NEED to get another cap and you NEED to do a flush. Brake fluid likes to absorbe water from the air. Get water in there and kiss your brake lines good bye.
