Rear is fine but my front has no braking force left. These are about 10years old now and have served me well.

Is it worth trying to fix or buy a new front brake? Can't see anywhere that fluid has come out apart from the brake lever is a bit mucky.

    How's the lever feel? If the lever feels the same as it has done previously, it's probably just contaminated pads/rotor. If not, try a bleed.

    Lever goes all the way back.
