Description of the problem	This may pertain to nhtsa campaign ea07016. 2004 winnebago sightseer 35 n with workhorse w22 (not sure of chassis year)chassis. While underway noticed what appeared to be a loss of power, steering wheel pulling to the left. Not understanding what was happening attempted to slow down/stop coach. Pedal was not firm and at one point i thought i had lost braking. Burning (slight) odor was noticed inside the coach with windows closed. Stopped twice to look under coach for any evidence of fluid leaks (dark out no light) no obvious leak. Left front wheel assembly was warmer than others. This was all happening relatively quickly. I proceeded with caution for about 10 miles where i found a shopping center, stopped (now daylight) checked master cylinder level and found the drivers side needing fluid (rubber diaphragm under cap had expanded) added at least 3 maybe four 9 ounce paper cups about 1/3 full and reservoir still had room. No evidence of leaking. After about 45 min. Continued for about 100 miles no further problems. Brakes work but could be better. I stopped over night at a friends house for 2 nights. He was a school bus mechanic and suggested that we raise the coach (did that with coach jacks) first the front wheels and found the left front wheel calipers to be sticking. We exercised the pistons several times, also found the pads to be sticking on the calipers. A small amount of neverseize was applied between the pads and the caliper casting sliding surface. Raised the rear of the coach, and rear wheels seemed ok. Have continued about 200 miles with no further incidence. Have around 23,500 on coach i am original owner. I have about 1100 miles to go to return to my home.
