Default left rear brake seems to stick slightly-200q

Every once in a while the left rear brake smells hot and I can even feel some grabbing at lights, both rear calipers are about 3 years old. Someone please tell me what to spray with wd40 to make all my Audi problems go away.

Default Check the caliper pins/boots..

If those boots get torn water will enter and start to seize the guide pins. Also the brake hoses.. ive seen it happen where internally the hose will collapse and act like a check valve.
