i have no idea about this... i just change the brake pad and bleed the brake, then the problem exists... any idea? i did that in the right way... is it the brake fluid makes the smoke to come out? thanks!!!

The caliper could be seized causing friction. Or you have a leaky line and its spewing fluid on the hot rotor.

probably a sticky caliper, i had the same thing

remove the caliper and service it, do both rear ones, in fact why not do all 4 just to be safe

grease the pins and so on

if you put new pads on thats normal too, sometimes new pads smoke a little when you install em

The piston that pushes the pad against rotor sticks out a little when you pad wears and the piston rusts a little, when you replace the old pad with new, it pushes the piston inside and the rust messes up the seal, causing a leak
Its pretty common thing after a pad swap. I bet you will notice your brake fluid will start to get low too, maybe even your pedal will start to fade. That all depends how much is coming out.
When I was braking my pads in, it smoked pretty bad when I got the rotors hot.
JAMES BOND STLYE!!! LMFAO
Just do what the people said above. Replace calipers

today, my rear brake seems okay, but the new problem comes out... when I step on the brake pedal hardly at a higher speed (about 80mph), the whole car begins to shake... i think my front brakes have some problem also... damn... any idea?
thanks for any suggestion!!!
