Holy necrothread atmagc

Yeah, if its spongy after driving, but not right away, then like you did, check for a dragging caliper or something causing heat -- those symptoms are the classic boiled brake fluid ones. Brake fluid boils at a lower temp when it has lots of water in it, but if the wheel is hot, its probably dragging or a bearing is failing, causing the brake fluid to boil. The water will just make it easier for it to happen.
