Was a super hot day today. Well over 90. Drove my car down to a shop to check on somethings - about 35 minute drive. Everything was fine. On the way back, aside from the minor starting clitch, my brakes seemed like when i stepped on them, the car would just slowly come to a stop. Peddle was a little spongy but didnt sink. I just had new ss lines and 19mm master put in. New fluid too about 2 months ago. Got the car home, pumped the peddles for a bit and then it seemed to brake ok again. Is it likey its just air in the lines? Funny how it took 2 months to start a problem. Reservoir is full and no leaks. Any advice appreciated.

There is a good chance you had some residual air in the system after replacing the MC. Bleeding the brakes is easy, and gives you a chance to inspect the calipers at the same time. After you bleed a caliper, but before you add fluid to the reservoir, remove the pads and retract the caliper pistons, then pump the pedal to push the pistons out again. That way you will find out if a caliper piston is sticking. Also inspect the rubber piston boots for cracks. If a boot is cracked you definitely need to rebuild.
