Default Brake help

Ok so i did a rebleed of my brake system today since I put now rotors calipers and lines on and still had some air in them. got a good pedal and I hope no more air. Well took the car for a drive and it pulls to the left when braking not bad at normal braking but a little. When you brake hard it pulls hard left. All of the suspension is good so that is not the problem. I did notice that the inside of the left wheel was wet. I will go swap out the caliper at OReilys in the morning. Would the left caliper leaking cause the car to pull to the left?

a left front caliper leaking would cause pulling to the right
