Metal grinding? *HELP PLZ*

Metal grinding? *HELP PLZ*
Its coming from the front right wheel well. It sounds like metal is grinding on metal but its not constant. It will do it for about 10-15 seconds then stop for about 10-15 minutes then start again. My guess is that my rotors are gone but I could be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is going wrong and the best way to get the problem solved? I'm kinda dreading going to the dealer. All suggestions are welcomed.

Most of the time when I apply the breaks it stops, but not always right away.

How old are the pads? Were they put on properly??
Thanks
