    If your fluid is topped off (filled up) and you don't have any leaks. It is probably the brake hose that connects to the caliper. It is a short rubber brake hose and if the braided lining inside the hose wears out, it could cause the hose to expand. It is cheap to replace hoses if you do it yourself.
