Sounds like a piston in the caliper is leaking. Could be a seal.

Brake fluid strips paint, so yeah get the wheels off ASAP or calipers chaged/refurbed or you will have a messy set of wheels.

check the bleed nipples and where the hose mates to the caliper. these are more likely causes of fluid leaks than seals.

should be a matter of pennies......
brake fluid is hydroscopic, so the best thing to stop it stripping the paint off ure wheels would be to cover it in water...
