Default 96 mustang brake caliper leak

My son has a 96 Mustang. Drivers rear caliper leaks. Not at the brake line fitting. The bottom of the caliper has a coil looking thing on it. Not sure what that is, but above it is a small plate. Between the caliper and that plate looks to be where it is leaking. What would that be? We were just going to replace the caliper, but if they sell kits, and it has the part or gasket, i will just do it that way.

I haven't seen any rebuild kits for the rear calipers. Probably just easier to replace it.

Just replace it... Seems like a lot of these fords are having problems with the right rear caliper too.
