Strange sound coming from brakes on Colt

Hello everybody,

I've got a strange problem with my Mitsubishi Colt from 1990. The first 5
minutes when I drive the car, the rear brakes made a very weird slurping,
gargling sound. (I hope the translation/ explanation is good)
After a wile when the brakes are warmer, the sound goes away and the brakes
work fine.

Does somebody know how this comes and how to resolve it?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Greets from the Netherlands.

For discs

May be rust on the discs, or brake pad/disc debris collecting in
the caliper.

Take the pads out, noting where the shims go, and carefully use an
old screwdriver/chisel/scraper to clean brake dust and rust out of
the caliper, particularly the points where the brake pads are
located in the caliper. Dont damage the piston rubber gaiter.

For drum brakes

Much the same, clean the dust out - just don't breathe it.
Exercise the shoes very gently by a small amount - with the drum
off - with the brake pedal - get someone else to help, and check
the shoes operature smoothly. You need to be carefull otherwise
you can pop the wheel cylinder piston out !!

Check the brkaes carefully after reassembly at low speed on a
quiet road ......
