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.
