Default Tire area problem

The back left tire area where the breaks are concealed on my 1994 S10 (automatic) is getting hot. I went to give it a washing today and when I sprayed the back left tire it steamed. Any help on what might be going on?

If it is a disc brake, its probably normal, but don't spray the rotor directly with water. It will warp. [/align][/align]If its a drum, then it may be over-adjusted. You can just use a brake spoon to crank the adjuster back just a little.[/align]
