concur with lawrence's post below, you likely have a piston that is perhaps not frozen, but is failing to retract. The only thing that makes the piston retract is the rubber seal around the piston. if the seal is stuck on a gunked up cylinder or if it has become brittle and hard, it will not retract the piston.

good news is the calipers can be overhauled easily, replacing the seals and dust boots. Clean out the caliper while you're at it. HIGHLY recommend you use QUALITY parts for this job. The seals and dust boots should not cost more than $10.

hope this helps
