Icon6 rear brake losing fluid, steering tilted left

Problem 1. ( Car has 185k miles)
My 1990 Honda Accord ex is probably leaking the fluid on my rear right brake..When I opened the rear brake it had thick black soot all around and it took me half hour to clean. No wonder the brake light comes on every 2 or 3 monthsand I had to add the brake fluid to and I was doing almost from past 2years.
Problem 2.
When ever I stop the car the steering wheel tilt towards the left I dont no why,but guessing that right side brakes might not be working properly so I opened the
right front brake and did not see any problem with the rotor and then I opened the rear right and the whole brake drum has accumulation of black soot. After cleaning I can feel the brakes are better but the tilting of the steering is still happening
so I am wondering why it is tilting.
Problem 3.
When driving on the stright road the steering is tilted towards the left, but the car pulling to the right slowly so I had to correct every 1/4th of a mile. I dont think I hit any concrete block, I dont no what is causing the steering to tilt.
Can any one shed the light on the problems of my car please.
