Default Smokey front offside?

I was pootling along this morning in the V6 and when we stopped at some lights I noticed some steam/smoke from the offside front tyre area. From inside the car, it was difficult to determine whether it was steam or smoke but it wasn't loads.

I pulled over when safe expecting a red hot front offside alloy wheel and a sticky calliper but no, the alloy was fine. I couldn't see, hear or smell anything out of the ordinary. Even when I shoved my nose into the wheel arch there was a faint hot rubber smell but there would be, wouldn't there!

Maybe I just hallucinated it after being up all night doing the on-call! Is there anything over that side I could check? The temp was fine, can't see a leak anywhere??

Oh, and btw, I hope you are all keeping well and safe in these uncertain time
