No, the fluid is drawn from the reservoir when the pedal is released. If the seals are sticking on the pistons, or the pistons are retracting too far for some other reason, when you release the pedal the MC bore is refilled from the brake lines when the piston retracts into the caliper, not from the reservoir. Like I said, it's a long shot. Don't take the calipers off, just watch each one when you have someone press on the brake pedal. You can see if they move in and out much. The motion of each piston and pad should be almost imperceptible.
