So what you are saying is pedal is not releasing when pressure is removed.
 
Dirt or corrosion around the calliper piston preventing it from moving back into the calliper
Remove calliper from its mount use the brake leaver to push the piston out just a wee bit and clean the piston

The brake master cylinder may need a rebuild using a rebuild kit which replaces the cylinder and piston along with all the seals

While they are locked up, crack open the bleeder on the caliper.
If still locked up its the caliper.
If pistons open up, it's a bad line or master cylinder.
