rear brake hose or caliper?

About 3 months ago changed all my rotors and pads. 2 months ago the passenger side rear brake was smoking and seemed the caliper wasn't letting loose. I had 4 bottles of fresh brake fluid, so I did a flush and the issue went away. Today it came back after having to drive through a little mud. I cleaned the brakes out and the slide pins were still full of grease. Do you think its a caliper issue or the brake hose has deteriated inside?

Thanks in advance

Brake hose issues are common and can be intermittent.

For search purposes I got the passenger side rear hose today, and the brakes aren't as mushy as before and seems to be better. No caliper sticking!
