Could be a stuck/sticking right caliper, or a rotten rubber brake hose on that corner breaking down internally and restricting flow of brake fluid back to the master cylinder.

ol blue got it right, could be either of those things. or you could be driving with your foot on the brake lol. Jack up that wheel, take wheel off, and see how easy you can spin rotor by hand or witha screw driver, then crack the bleeder loose on caliper and see i it gets easier to spin, if its easier, then its a hose, if it doesn't change then it is a caliper/and or sticking sliders.

so we took the wheel off and cleaned everything out and tested the brakes, put everything back together, test drove it and everything seem to of fixed its self, hopefully i dont have any more problems with it
