I respectfully disagree with Torsionbar. I used to rebuild calipers, but concluded it just was not worth it when you can get a rebuilt one for about $65.
You never know what you are going to find when you tear them down, so you might need a rebuilt one anyway. Polishing tarnished pistons (I've found) is a waste of time. They seem to freeze again eventually.
Since it's just a leak and not a seizure, you may be OK just by replacing the rubber. Or you may not.
Agree completely about flushing the system every couple of years. I think Mercedes actually recommended doing it every Spring.
