Dragging brakes, is my caliper shot?

My brakes started smoking on the way home from work. The pedal got real soft and they seemed to be dragging. I took off the wheels and saw that one of the calipers seemed to be leaking fluid. [see photo]. I'm a complete newbie here but willing to get dirty. Can anyone point me to some links for how to take this stuff apart and diagnose?
