I'm backing into my spot after driving for 15 mins.
I'm going back and forth like 3 times trying to line up perfectly and I hear somethin that sounds like a hiss. I park and see about a 1/2 cup of brake fluid leaking from under the car. I pop the hood and after waiting a few see "Probably" the source the brake fluid somehow came out of the cap. I dont have much more details but I'd like to know if something usually causes this back pressure (stuck piston?cylinder) or do I just have a bad cap? forensics of the ground look like the fluid really kinda shot out as the whole eposiode was about a minute.

Wash off the brake fluid IMMIDIATELY. You will peel your paint and "melt" your rubber if you leave the brake fluid on there. I've personally seen paint start to bubble in an engine bay because of a problem such as this.
 
thanks for the tip. I knew it ate paint but not to that degree. It's been two hours . When cleaning it off I swear that stuff was burning my hands. I can't reach all of it so I hope a good hosing did it.
