Since the master cylinder replacement hasn't eliminated the problem, perhaps the OSF caliper is the problem. I had issues with my NSF caliper many years ago going out for a run one day. Country roads so only speeds of 40-50mph, but I noticed that the car just seemed to be working harder and harder. Stopped and discovered the NSF had near enough seized. Had to leave it for about half an hour for it to cool door, and then with some help from someone that I stopped outside their house, we managed to force the piston back. Thankfully I was less than 10 miles from home, so just a cautious drive back, and replaced the both front calipers.
