If in doubt get a Local Bike Shop to do this. Don't muck about with your brakes if you are not sure.
Safer and much cleaner.
So safety bit out the way.
The back brake has always played up.
There is some corrosion around the banjo connector on the lever.
I pushed through 20ml of fresh fluid, lots of air came through too but fluid was quite clean.
Worked the pistons in and out a few times and lubed them, both working in unison now.
Tempted to undo the hose fitting and see if I can dismantle and reuse parts (like I can with Hopes) and trim back hose.
Put the brakes on the rolling frameset and go through the bleeding process tomorrow.
