Disks looks a little blue so I'd be inclined to go with the AA dudes conclusion |

Anyone know where to get OEM replacement? What manufacturer or if new seals would be better? |

I would just go for a complete stripdown and clean and check the disk for run-out caused by overheating as a first option as it costs nothing and usually solves the problem. The rear calipers are cheap and nasty single piston sliding pins type which have a propensity to partially seize.

So just unbolt and swing the caliper round, get some break cleaner and a tooth brush in around the piston?

Dannut - sorry that's one of the problems with forums; you don't know whether the OP is master mechanic or doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other
