Right rear brake leak

My 2004 GP GT2 had its low break fluid light came on earlier this week when I was leaving work. Looked at the ground underneath my car and noticed a small puddle inward from the right rear wheel. Had the chance to take the wheel off and look around this afternoon. It appears the seal behind the piston is leaking (pics available here: Photo Album - Imgur). It looks pretty dirty/corroded under this seal.

Is it possible that replacing the seal will fix my problem, or will I need to replace the caliper?

Is there normally some brake fluid contained within that seal, or is it just supposed to protect from dirt and corrosion?
 
We're looking at the back of the caliper where the torsion spring for the parking brake is. The attachment has a top-down view of the caliper.
