That might just be that the caliper pistons need a clean. If the seals look in good condition you can clean up the pistons, pop some red rubber grease on and put it back together.
Best bet is to clean the caliper pistons first then buy the braided hoses and new fluid. Master cylinder repair kits aren't too expensive but be aware that you may need to buy some long reach circlip pliers to do the job and it will either go well or go badly - look at videos on you tube to get an idea of how it's done. I've done the same job on other bikes and it's not too difficult.
