There are several things I would need to know to answer correctly:

  • What kind of vehicle
  • What year
  • What type of brakes

The fact that one brake does work means there is an underlying problem with the rest that needs to be repaired.

Usually on a car one brake working means that the other three have seized hydraulic systems in each brake and require the replacement of the cylinders or Calipers.

What would cause the rear brakes to leak on one side wetting the pads and how do you fix this?

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).
