I'm running xt discs and am pretty new to hydros. I have no pressure in one of my brake levers. Theyve ran fine for about 3 months until now. I cant find any leaks and havent found any spilled oil.

Do you perhaps need new pads?
I ask only because you did not mention if you check them or not.

Air bubble in the line which requires bleeding, or an adjustment to the pad to rotor gap.
This is one of the main reasons I like my AVID mechanical disc brakes. No hydraulics, just a plain ole cable and they are just as powerful as all the hydros (hayes, magura, cannondale) I have run in the past.
