car failed mot on rear brakes, so had all parts of the handbrake cable replaced, new rear shoes both sides and a new cylinder on the drivers side only

now today, first time the car has been driven in the wet at no more than 60 lesuirely driving, but the drivers side brake is smoking loads, is this natural? as the pass side doesnt?

possibly just excess brake fluid burning off from where the cylinder was replaced.
