Brakes / Rotors Help
I have a quick question. Today I changed my brake pads and rotors and now after driving the car for a little while, smoke and and burnt oil smell seems to be comming from one of the wheels (front left). I noticed the rotos are packed with oil on them could this be normal during burn-off? Somehow though I doubt it since its only happening on one wheel. Could this be a stuck caliaper? The odd thing is I dont seem to feel any "odd" sensations while dribing the car. What do you guys think?
Thanks for your input, Blu |

Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir to see if it is low.
Sounds like you may have damaged the rubber line when removing the caliper and it could be spraying brake fluid out. Once low enough - no brakes! Alternatively - jack it up and take that wheel off, have someone pump the brakes hard while you look for a possible leak in the rubber line.

Also check to see if your CV boot ripped and flung grease all over the place.
