[DeTomaso] Front Brake Caliper Piston Sticking

 Very recently noticed the left front brake is late to apply and late to release, causing significant swerving.
Was thinking it might "limber up" with additional driving, now wondering if more driving will only make it worse.
Got to Alameda and back + San Ramon and back earlier, both ~100 mile round trips, no issue.  This started after that.
Am signed up for a multi-hundred mile event on the first, been too cold and rainy to do any tinkering.  So maybe I get stranded with a locked wheel.  Or the problem just goes away.
Thoughts, predictions, experience ?
Thanks,
GD
