brake problem : squirting brake fluid from bleed valve : ( 850 1995

Well, I need some quick, very quick help with this one. I was at the in-law's house the other night when I noticed brake fluid spread out all over the outside of my passenger side front tire. After arriving home and pulling off the tire, I noticed that the rubber cap on the bleeder valve had blown off and brake fluid was leaking badly from the tip of the valve. I swabbed it out, started the car, pumped the brakes, and checked it again, confirming that the fluid was indeed coming from the tip of the valve, not from around the threads. I got a new cap and installed it. I then started the car and pumped the brakes again, and the cap blew off and brake fluid was squirting out of it again. My wife was watching it to see what happened while i pumped the brakes.

I don't know what to do in this situation. I could use some advice. Thank you for your help.

Kevin
