I remember my father saying, 'It's sprung a leak', and he was a plumber. So, 'sprung' seems to be a verb too, though past tense of the verb 'to spring'. Whereas, 'sprang' seems to be a corruption of the verb, though if a word becomes common usage it is effectively part of the language. The English language is marvellously stretchy.

"Sprang" is the past tense of the verb "spring". "Sprung" is used instead when there is a helping verb (has, had, etc...). The coil sprang. The coil has sprung. Make sense?
