If the seals are worn and you ride the brake, the fluid can leak past the piston seal as you rest on the pedal.

Had this the other day with a master cylinder and the pedal would just drop away under steady pressure.

The angle of the arm must not go over 90 degrees when the brake is applied.

If there was water in the caliper pots, with dot 5 it accumulates in a pool and will boil if you ride the brake.
