Nick,

If the truck has been sitting the brake fluid most likely ran down the center of the backing plate and did not get on the lining. If you drove it then the fluid did get on the lining.

The cups tend to droop or settle to the bottom of wheel cylinder bore when they are not used, that is have pressure applied from time to time.

It's a good idea to pump the pedal every once in awhile when you walk by the truck if sitting for long periods.

Some cups have metal cup backers that help the cup to keep it's shape. I don't know if they are available for these wheel cylinders.
