A disc brake caliper that sticks or leaks can show up as the car pulling to one side, a burnt smell after driving, or brake fluid near the wheel. Before you replace the caliper, rule out worn pads, a seized slide pin and a damaged brake hose, since each can produce similar signs. The rear right takes its own caliper, and both sides are normally replaced together.
