Front brake hanging.

Like the title says....occasionally my right front brake will hang on an heat up to the point of creating and odor, so far it hasn't gotten hot enough to smoke but it does make a rusty colored film develop on my wheel.

Is there anything I can do short of replacing the caliper to prevent this from occurring?

So far its the only one that does it, other than this glitch the brakes work fine.

It can also be the hose causing this issue. The interior lining will break loose and start to block fluid from releasing, kind of like a one wy check valve. I have seen rotors glowing from this issue.
 
Thanks, I'll try and check that out, maybe just get a new line and replace it and go from there.
