You need to replace the rubber flex lines have deteriorated and are acting like a check valve. Very common. I just had a car in my shop with the same problem.
Over time the brake fluid breaks down the rubber and the inside of the hose clogs up. There's enough mechanical advantage from the master cylinder to push fluid to the caliper, but it will hold the brake fluid on that part of the hydraulic circuit under pressure. From the exterior the hose doesn't look bad, but it is toast. |
