How much should it cost to fix a brake fluid leak in the right rear cylinder of a 1997 Saturn SC2 and do you need to do both rear brakes at the same time?

Right rear wheel cylinder (assuming you have a drum brake in the back) is a couple bolts and an oil line going in. You would need to remove the drum brake parts to remove it but a new cylinder would probably run around 20 bucks in an auto part store.
If it is a disc with caliper and it is leaking from the caliper piston itself, your looking at a new caliper which may run around 40 bucks. You may just have a line leak and in the rear it should be pretty easy to remove and replace with a new section.
Bleeding the brakes should be done for both rear brakes at the same time to be certain. You need to open the bleeders to do this. Be careful, use penetrating oil and plenty of time.. maybe a lil heat as well.

What is the function of the wheel cylinder?
A piston on each end of the wheel cylinder pushes outward when the brakes are applied. This pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum and stops the vehicle. The pistons are forced out by the pressure of the brake fluid inside the wheel cylinder when you apply the brakes.

Brake Pedal goes to floor after changing brakes on 2003 Saturn L200 and bleeding brakes throughly. What could be problem Car is mint too new to be master cylinder 30K miles.?
Not really an answer, but another question... did you bleed the brakes after you changed them? I remember that is a critical step, NOT to be missed when working on the brakes. Hope this helps.
Should the brake pedal go to the floor on a car equipped with anti lock brakes?
No, Check the fluid level in the master cylinder. If empty look for leak in system, perhaps a broken brake line or leaking wheel cylinder or caliper. If equipped with drum type brakes, perhaps need adjustment.
