They are all a little wobbly, but this is seldom a problem. If it wasn't sealing 
there it would probably be leaking fluid all over everything. 

If there was air getting in your system you would see bubbles when you 
bleed. Do you get air out when you bleed? You should always use a piece of 
clear plastic hose to bleed thru, as this lets you see what is going on and it 
lets you collect the old brake fluid for proper disposal. Except for silicone 
brake fluid, proper disposal is to flush it down the drain (really, I checked.)
