No check valve.
Check the brake pedal to see if it's returning properly. I've seen "issues"
with the pivot
point of the pedal that causes binding and keeps the pedal from returning to
its full
height. You'll know if this is the issue because the brakes become "un-stuck"
if you lift
the pedal up.
Replace the two front flexible brake lines as well as the single rear one. As
one other
poster mentioned age sometimes causes swelling and breakdown of the inner
lining which
creates "valves" in the line.
Of course it's possibly a master cylinder.
Good luck.
