When driving after 20 minuites or so, left front brake locks up. Then it brakes fine after it "cools down" for a few miniutes and will for the rest of the day. When the car sits overnight it will do it again. I just replaced the pads and had the rotors turned. This seemed to help as it didn't do so it so bad. but it still does it. I cracked the bleeder and the wheel spins fine so I replaced the hose when I did the pads. The fluid looked "NASTY". Could flushing/replacing the fluid help? I think there could be crud behind the caliper piston, But if the wheel spins when the bleeder is cracked the caliper should be good shouldn't it? I'm at a loss here.
