Another possibility is that one circuit has failed - it can reduce the braking
much more than in theory it should, particularly if someone has (wrongly)
readjusted the brake push-rod length at some point.  Internal seal failure
wouldn't necessarily leak out (only the rear-most seal failure leads to
leaking).
