AH - HA!
I think I found the culprit. I came out this morning and found a small puddle
of fluid on the floor just inside the right tire. Perhaps the cool weather
made the seal ring brittle and it cracked. The leaking fluid then lubed the
rotor and the right brake wouldn't work well until the brakes warmed up and
wore the fluid off the rotor. Then the left pull went away. Looks like we
need a caliper rebuild.
Thanks to all for your incites and help.

Gents,
With the advent of cooler weather here in South Florida, Ms. Healey has been
displaying an odd characteristic. When starting out (brakes quite cool - 40
deg perhaps), the front brakes pull significantly to the left. After warming
up (10 min of city driving), the pull gradually disappears and even with hard
breaking no pull is evident. Does anyone know the possible cause of this
malady?
