Brakes dragging - after brake fluid change

300SD '83 - just back from service. Brake fluid changed/bled. On the drive home, it became apparent the front brakes are dragging.

The fluid level in the reservoir is slightly above normal.
The wheels are warm to the touch - as they would be if the brakes were dragging.

What would cause this sudden change in brake caliper behavior?

Shall I simply bleed off a little fluid from each front brake caliper?
