The rotor and brake pads both were smoking hot, at first I thought I had lost the wheel bearings, I pullled the rotor and hub found it leaking (seal)when I took the rotor off. Wheel brearings were good, new seal installed, cleaned the rotor and emergency brake items with with brake cleaner, new pads installed and have not had issue with that wheel after repair 4-5k ago. The fluid level in the rear axle was normal so just a small amount had leaked. The fluid leakes on the emergency brake items then migrates out to the rotor where the normal pads ride. No vibration I was running my daughter around in town and using the brakes alot when it happened.
