Cap doesn't fit the reservoir.

Try a different cap from the set, including the rubber cones for universal fitment. Check the reservoir's shape and size to ensure the selected cap is appropriate.

Air is leaking during the bleeding process.

Ensure the cap is securely attached and properly sealed to the reservoir. Check for any cracks or damage to the cap. Tighten the cap or replace it if necessary.
