Do you mean a sticking piston?
Had this a couple of weeks ago and freed it using a clamp. Working mine a lot cleared it - press brake pedal to move piston out (with pads removed) then use clamp to push it back in - keep doing this a few times to clear it.
You can also get from dealers a new seal kit to all 8 pistons (about £20). I was recommended to press the brake pedal out as far as it would go then give it a good clean with fine we & dry paper - worked a treat.
