You are right. There was something leaking.

Always a good thing to see!
Ugh.
I was hoping it was a different one.

I was on the team that certified the first 777 aircraft.
That is probably the most robust and safe airplane ever designed and built.
Some ting wong, we too lo, and Holy Fuk cart wheeled one at SFO and it was still in one piece.
If you don’t maintain it, it may break.
it will still get you down.
DEI is not working with people that won’t follow the rules.
ESG doen’t make safe aircraft
and profit for shareholders should never trump safety.

Hydraulics, wheel assy, tire seems to be giving off smoke.

Does look like hydraulic fluid spraying from the aft right brake, #12. When the plane lands you can see that the gear doors are still down, so that hydraulic system that powers gear door retraction is probably empty. After parking the #12 brake is smoking, probably due to all the hydraulic fluid cooking off it. That brake would still function because the alternate braking hydraulic system would supply fluid power. The Boeing 777 has 3 hydraulic systems, so the brake and steering system have two different sources for power.
