A passenger reported that a fluid leak at the right hand main gear had delayed departure by about 40 minutes, there was a puddle of fluid underneath the right hand wheels and the tyres were wet with the fluid, during landing smoke but no actual fire became visible from the right hand main gear, the aircraft taxied to the gate where three fire engines showed up. The passengers disembarked normally. The passenger thought residual fluid from the leak before departure caused the smoke when the brakes got hot during landing.
The Canadian TSB reported smoke became visible during roll out in Quebec, the crew was advise and taxied the aircraft to the gate, where emergency services responded to too. Residual fluid from a brakes leak before departure from Ottawa was identified as source of the smoke. The brakes were cleaned and inspected.
