BRAKE SQUEAK When lifting off brake

BRAKE SQUEAK When lifting off brake
2007 Acura TL Type S (STOP Tech brake pads) Not OEM pads that came with the 07 type s
So i've done some research on the site and came across some issues that *could be associated with my problem but i am not 100% sure. Hoping you guys could help Here's a detailed analysis of what i am expriencing
Loud squeak noise (like a metal grind) possibly caliper on the front driver side, that happens only when i *slowly" lift my foot off the brake. The slower i lift my foot off the break pedal, the louder and longer the squeak.
Usually the sound is louder when it is raining, or after it rains. There is no noise when i press on the brake itself. only when releasing I recently put new pads and rotors about a year ago.
One other thing i notice is that the Pads on the front driver side seem to be wearing down much faster than the front passenger
Also, the LOTS more brake dust on front driver, and the wheels are very HOT after driving, compared to the passenger front.
Not sure if the brake drums just need to be cleaned?
Or is this a case of the "caliper seizing"?
could it be just a minor lubrication issue? I HOPE it does not need new calipers??
ANY HELP would be great! thanks guys!

Definitely something wrong with that side, either piston(s) sticking or flexible rubber brake line ruptured internally.
As above, but just remove the pads and try and push in the pistons. If they are sticking it will probably be the lower
pistons as condensation will reside in the lower part of the caliper. If they all are tight, loosen the bleeder on each
caliper half and try again. If they now go in easily, bad hose, but when cold difficult to detect bad hose..
I normally check for a bad hose after the brakes are hot and the problem noticed. Tough working on hot components,
but remove the pads and try to push in the piston(s), no go, then loosen the bleeder, try again. If easy, hose bad.
