Hey BB's, I've just noticed while driving I can hear the right rear brake release after a few minutes on the road, I wasn't certain that's what it was, but stopped for gas and the right wheel was way hotter than the left one. So did some quick checking anticipating its time to replace the calipers (and the rotors, and the pads, left and right), but then saw some info about it could just be an old brake line that's clogged? Is that worth just replacing the rear brake lines to see if it fixes the problem? Brake fluid gets replaced every two years (it's almost due again). F&R pads were replaced in 11/2021. This car doesn't get driven much, maybe 5-8k per year.
Thanks in advance for your input!
