You can tell if your hose has collapsed by checking for kinks or bulges along its length, which can indicate a blockage or internal damage. If water flow is significantly reduced or stops altogether when the hose is turned on, it may also suggest a collapse. Additionally, listening for unusual sounds, like gurgling, can be a sign of trapped air or a blockage within the hose. Inspecting the hose for visible signs of wear or damage can further confirm the issue.

Why Driver side front brake slowly tightens after driving to a point of locking up?
Your flexible brake hose is collapsed inside. When you apply the brakes, the pressure gets through, but the collapsed portion of the hose won't let the pressure back out and it locks up the caliper. Depending on how bad the hose is collapsed inside, the pressure may release after sitting for a while. The hose may look good on the outside, but that is just a protective barrier for the inside hose. Replacing the hose should solve your problem.
