[DeTomaso] Front Brake Caliper Piston Sticking

+2 on the brake lines
I had similar symptoms with my Dino and when I took off the old hoses and cut them in half I found there was essentially no lumen. The rubber had deteriorated and swollen and occluded the hose. This creates exactly what you describe-- the fluid is slow to get thru the hose so the caliper is slow to respond, then once it is in there the collapsed hose acts like a one-way valve to hold pressure in the caliper until it slowly seeps out.

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