Normally a bad brake caliper will stick when you apply the pedal and then slowly release. It will make your vehicle feel as if the brakes are applied even when they are not and then slowly they will release. Eventually they will stick and stay stuck.
It is worth mentioning that squelling or scratching noises are not neccesarily a bad caliper. Those noises are usually caused by the brake pads themselves either sliding on the caliper or the scratching sound is probably the brake wear indicators letting you know you need new brake pads.

The Hose Will Rot On The Inside Not Allowing The Brake Fluid To Flow Back Into The Master Cylinder There For Causing Calipers To Stick. If Yours Isn`t Leaking It Should Be OK. Be Sure To Inspect The Brake Hoses, If They Appear Bad Replace Them. GOOD LUCK
