Main reason is faulty (usually stuck out) caliper. Raise the vehicle and remove the wheel. Remove lower caliper bolt and try swing the caliper upward. Inspect for damaged piston boot. Try pushing the piston back inside the caliper. If you feel resistance, replace caliper. Make sure you bleed the system once you are done.
