Will this rebuild kit http://www.cyclebrakes.net/32-1425.aspx most likely stop the leaking brake fluid out of my caliper, i cant quite see where its leaking from but the fluid is just running down the back wheel and onto the ground so i know its not happening up front anywhere.

not all these prices are the same, but here's a few options.

I would first make sure it is in fact the caliper leaking before you tear into it. the line could be cracked, the brake line bolt could be loose, or it could be the caliper. pull it off and see where the leak is at, then replace what needs to be replaced.
