Stickey Brakes

Ok i just stumped on this one
Sometime after breaking the front drivers side brake is sticking and almost drags the tire. it seems to just happen randomly once a week or so but i took the brakes off and checked them. They look ok but my rotor has about had it. So does anybody have any idea why this is happening. Oh Yea it is a 91 GTA Front Disk Rear Drum. Thanx in advance.

Mine did that after recent brake pad install. Turned out that when I pushed the piston back it pushed sediment crap up the line. When I touched the brakes it would stay on the sediment was keeping the pressure from releasing the the pressure from the caliper. I bought Advance autoparts rebuilt calipers for $9.99ea. (not the kit but the whole caliper) and new brake lines $13.50ea. and my brakes have never been better. Now I am working on the rear brakes.
