I replaced the front brake pads and also the left front caliper, master cylinder. But the left front brake pads smoke when I stop at a red light or park the vehicle after using the brake. It doesn't seem to do it all the time but it is getting worse

The piston caliper could be binding or the brake hose is collasped internally acting as a one way check valve could also be the ABS

I had the same problem and it ended up after replacing both front calipers and master cylinder and doing the same thing to be fluid that built up in the vaccume booster and filled it up from the leaking master
