2 days ago I noticed a grinding noise coming from my left driver side wheel when I applied the brakes. Today I was leaving my house and the wheel locked. It appears that the brake will not disengage the wheel. There is also a flood of brake fluid now pouring from the wheel. I have no idea what is happening but sounds like a cylinder issue. Can you help?

Well the grinding was pad completly worn out now metal to metal with rotor. Piston in caliper came out and locked up wheel. You went from a simple pad replacement to an expensive repair pads, rotor, caliper
