Triple, check to see if the hose collapses or swells when the brake pedal is applied and released. If it doesn't, I would be surprised if this fixes it.
When it happened to me it was undetectable from the outside. The failure occured inside the metal reinforced line so all looked fine by visible inspection, which led me to replace the caliper only to have the same problem. I had to remove the hose and shine a flashlight inside to see the collapsed area.
