Bleed them first, and if that doesn't work, then try taking them apart.

my brakes are soft everynow and again, just whenever they want. there's a leak somewhere because I have to fill up the reservoir every couple of months. I just press the pedal more and I stop, if it get's too soft just open the door and put your foot on the ground, you'll stop.
