You're based at a small airport without any maintenance facilities.

if i'm back at base after a flight, i go home for the day, drink some beer and call the mechanic at 7pm and tell him it has to be fixed for the 0700 show in the morning.
hypotheticals aside....call mx and have it fixed. it's not worth the risk of having a student leave you in a big pickle because the brakes need to be bled. this actually happened to me in a rented warrior - no problems on departure. landed and one brake went to the floor. decelerating was strange, but steering was easy because it was a warrior. a 150 or 172 might be more difficult to handle on the ground with an inop brake.
