Evening...

I'm running a pair of Formula ORO's (2009) on my trail bike, after a short but eventful 3 day trip to the Alps, the front levers not fully returning after being pulled (the levers only a few mm short but it's enough for the brakes to still bite, all be it lightly). The lever doesn't appear to be sticking, it seems to loose it's 'spring' back into place.
Any ideas how to fix, or am I looking at new brakes?

    Give it a bleed and take note of the colour of the fluid. If black then the master cylinder seal is on the way out.

    An easy fix.
