No visible leaks, and the pads look okay-ish, but I haven't measured them. If air's getting in, would that always mean a leak somewhere, or could it be something else entirely?

While it's good you're not seeing any obvious leaks, air getting in almost always points to a leak somewhere in the hydraulic system, even a tiny one, or a failing master cylinder. If you're not confident in diagnosing it further yourself, best get it to a shop. Brakes are definitely not something to gamble with.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Took it to a workshop; you were right. Worn brakes were causing the issue, and they sorted everything out. Cost me 480€ for parts and labor.

Low brake fluid and weird pedal feel? Sounds like air might be getting into the system somewhere. Have you checked for any visible leaks around the calipers, brake lines, or master cylinder? That's usually the first place to look. Or maybe your brake pads are just super worn down.
