Rotors Pads and some others will get hot and can Burn you easy.
When using IR etc to read them...
read both Fronts then Both rears and quickly.
Fronts should be very close to each other. Same for rears. Often Won't see same for all and is normal.
Quick because rotors and more cool faster then most think and reading temp won't matter if you wait too long to read.
Pad Dragging can be one to several problems...
Piston problems, slider problems, etc.
See my Cave, Brake Service and rest of section.------------------
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

I don’t know what it was. I’ve driven it a few more times and it’s not very pronounced now

I drove about 2 miles. It’s a very warm humid day here. The rotors in the back we’re both about the same at like 123°F in the front two were like 126.

The front valve cover area can leak oil which drips on exhaust manifold; Usually just smell, but can catch fire. When cool, use mirror & light and look baclk there, the take paper towel and feel around- see if any wet oil.
