Front Hydro Brake

Hi all,
My Hydraulic front brake doesnt work at all. Pull the lever and doesnt even move the pads slightly. Isit totally dead or is it something as simple as there's no fluids? New to hydraulic brakes so thought id ask on here first. Oh and its te HAYES SO1E set. Came with the bike.
Thanks, Jonezy

Presumably they used to work, in which case you have a fluid leak which is probably terminal for the brake.

Might change the hoses for white ones are they easy to change?

Or you can do what I do and use a syringe with a rubber hose and just mop up the excess as it comes out the lever.
