I decided to take a peek in the reservoir. The screws were really hard to break loose, enough that it distorted them a little. As soon as I cracked the second one loose some fluid squirted out. Being that I wasn't planning to bleed I just put it back on. The brake came back to what seemed normal the first few times it sat, now it won't. There's some brake, but the handle is quite mushy. I don't have any plans on riding it and may not be keeping it so I'll leave it be for now.

Edit: there's really no need for DOT 4 unless you plan to go road course racing, DOT 4 just has a higher boiling temp than 3. Sport bikes started going to DOT 4 then most other bikes followed suit. Some say that 4 is less hygroscopic but I don't see any advantage to that.
