You probably need new pads, since a groove is being worn into the rotor on the right. The left caliper might also be seized up (hence the heat), and will need to be greased with high temperature grease. You can get pads and a tube of grease from the site sponsors.
My suggestion would be to remove the calipers, but do not detach them from the brake hose, then check to see if the piston is moving freely by turning it into the caliper using a special tool (also available from site sponsors). Then grease the caliper, install the new pads. You might be able to have the rotors turned at an auto parts shop if they are still thick enough (see the stamping on the rotor for the minimum thickness), or get new rotors from site sponsors.
