## Discrepancy

(CAN) CAPTAIN WAS DOING WALKAROUND AND NOTICED DARK SMOKE COMING FROM 1 OF THE WHEELS.   CAPTAIN ALSO STATED THE F/O DID NOT USE THE BRAKE.  INSPECTED AND FOUND EXCESSIVE GREASE ON BRAKE.  CLEANED GREASE.  NO FLUID LEAKS BRAKE WORKS OK. NOTE: WHEN A LUBE JOB IS DONE, EXCESSIVE GREASE SHOULD BE CLEANED OFF.
