It does not matter which side of the caliper you can see the leak from, you need to get that caliper changed, I had to the same thing a month ago and got a exchange unit from fleabay at £175 with a surcharge of £75 for the old one, you should also factor in that you will need someone with the VagCom or similar for the windback on the electronic handbrake.
