Check your brake pads for residue from fork oil and your rotors. If the previous owner had leaky for seals the brake pads and rotors could have been at one point drenched in fork oil. This compromises the performance of both pad an rotor.
Again this is all just speculation. You'd have to start at the most basic level and back track and work your way up until the issue is diagnosed and fixed.

right on the money. Though the most common fault in a hydraulic system is A) sticky caliper/piston B) fluid leaks
