You have a leak in the caliper piston most likely due to rust which causes brake fluid to leak past the rubber seal. To fix, you have to either rebuild the caliper yourself or buy a rebuilt caliper from the parts store. If you buy a rebuilt caliper, it will come loaded or unloaded. Loaded = comes with brake pads. Unloaded = caliper by itself (no pads).

Can brake work cause a coolant leak?
If a coolant leak were caused by brake work, I'd never have that person work on my brakes - ever. Just the brakes, I would think it highly unlikely that it would result in a coolant leak. If they were replacing the master cylinder, then I could see a possibility of someone inadvertently causing a coolant leak, but that would still even be a stretch.

Possibly a broken motor mount. If it runs good otherwise one cause can be a vacuum leak. The check engine light should be on if it is a vacuum leak.
Why pneumatic brakes are used in commercial vehicles?
Because air is in constant supply - thus, a leak in the system won't necessarily render the brakes inoperable, whereas, with hydraulic brakes, the fluid would leak out until it had emptied.
Why only air is used in air brakes not any other solid?
Well, they wouldn't be air brakes then, would they? The reasons for air is that it's in steady supply, and a leak in the system doesn't cause you to use your supply.
What would cause a squealing sound if it is not the brakes or belts when engine is running on idle condition?
