Definitely check the piston for play, but also bleed the lines and pull the guide pins and re-grease them with high temp brake grease.

Also, if the pads hang up in the caliper, it can cause exactly the same problem. That is easy to check as well; pull the pads, file the edges of the pads, and clean out where the pads rest, inside the caliper. And grease that area too if you're so inclined. If the pads are binding (common) then it is an easy fix.
