Have 1g RS the right front brake is hotter than the left by 20-50 deg. I have checked the caliper and lubed the slides. Also replaced brake hoses. The car does not pull while driving or under braking. The drag on the right brake is only slightly more than the left but is not abnormal. I have checked this hot and cold and feel no diffence.

This started when we were washing the car and noticed the difference in temperature. The right rotor was also slightly warped.

The only thing I can think of is the piston seal is little stiff on this side but it pushed back fine when working on the car. Any possible explanation??
 
The caliper is sticking. Probably some corrosion inside.
