Checking brakes and... squirt

[gr8hunter1 at comcast.net (Jacob Hawes)]

I know that I at least started this e-mail about a week ago but I just 
upgraded my computer and with that I reinstalled windows, so if I 
already said this just flame me. This is actually the third time I have 
tried sending this in the past couple of days, perhaps it will go 
through this time.

I finally took the time to look at my rear brakes and once I got in 
there I realized that I have no idea what I'm doing. Well thats how you 
learn, right? So I followed the book's directions and got my brother to 
press the brake pedal while I look at the brake to see if everything is 
moving correctly. It isn't. One of the pistons sticks at first and one 
or the other won't go out all the way. Then I notice that the rubber 
around the piston began to swell. I pushed on it a little (this is with 
the pedal mostly depressed) and brake fluid squirts a few feet away. 
What is going on? Is it time to take it to a pro?
