"drop buy" like to buy something?

Where are you?

Duc Seattle is way north of 99% of the posters here.

However, Jacob is as cheap as they come if your looking for some good wrenching.

I don't know how far you have gotten yet

first thing I would do is take everything brake related off the bike

dissasemble everything in the brake system

clean the shit out of it

look into a rebuild kit to get the seals gaskets and washers

it could be a combination of dirt, bad seals, air in the line, and water in the fluid

once it is all cleaned and flushed

use a syringe to refill the components with new fluid from an unopened bottle

this will help the flushing process

once the system is reassemble open bleeder with a hose on it

and slowly and lightly pull lever with cap off while pouring fluid as needed into resevior

this will flush out all the air and is a great one man brake bleeder trick

follow up that process using a vaccuum bleeder and you should be good to go

grab some brake and hold it

if it slowly leaks down look for the place the fluid is coming out

if no fluid externally then it is a bad internal seal and the M/C needs rebuilt

that is a simple process

 bacon mmmm bacon, extra crispy please  coffee

I can't tell from your picture but if you have clip-ons and they are angled downward the handset usually holds a pocket of air that won't pass down the brake line with any amount of squeezing controls.
 
And be careful with that fluid squirting and dripping. It will remove paint. Good luck!
