Open one caliper bleed screw and pull the brake lever to see if fluid shoots out. If it does,keep holding the lever and snug the bleed screw down. Do the same for the other side. If this doesn't help then see if the pistons are frozen on the caliper. You can use a screw driver between the pads to force the pistons back a little.If you still have problems then you could need caliper seals kits. Cheap parts on ebay,amazon. Same for the master cylinder. Oem master cylinder piston/seal kits are about 60 bucks.New after market master cylinders can be bought for about that.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Left-...dYHUk8&vxp=mtr I'd use a mityvac first to see if you can bleed the lines and free things up first.
