    I had the master cylinder replaced a couple of weeks ago and everything was fine. Now the caution light has come on and the brakes r really spongey. Can a slight air leak cause the caution light 2 come on? The fluid level is spot on.

    Yep - maybe a little air remains in the system from the work done. Re bleed should fix it.
