That happened to us and we discovered we were using the wrong brake fluid. We were told to use dot 5 which we did. Then the pistons later got stiff and we're not returning properly, making the brake lock slightly on. Got very rapidly worse between 2 or 3 heats and cost us loads of points.
FINALLY, we were advised by Spellfame we must use dot 5 SILICONE or the seals swell causing the problem.
Changed the oil and seals again. Job done they were bang on as you could see the old/new seals HAD swollen.
Hope it helps :-)
