If the cap isn't sealing properly then replace it, you don't want to admit air into brake lines. If brakes locked up you either had a bad caliper, (front), bad wheel cylinder (rear), or bad lines/hoses. You should also check your proportioning valve. Ultimately you may have a bad MC. If you replace that, be sure to bench bleed it before installing on vehicle.
