Default Slightly Wet Front Left Caliper

After being in storage, Kitty is pulling slightly right during hard braking. Rear calipers look healthy (PITA) with plenty of pad. Front calipers have plenty of pad, but left has slight wetness. Could this be the culprit?
Thanx in advance!

sounds like it would be.. but why is it wet and did it not dry out and correct the problem after a bit of driving?

I don't know. The wetness on the "piston-pad" contact area appeared to be old brake fluid mixed with road grime. I cleaned her up and will re-inspect...
