Whenever I change my brake pads and re-lube the calipers, my brakes produce some funky burning odors for a day or two. It's usually grease burning off of the rotor or caliper as they heat up for the 1st few times.
However, I have always believed that brake work should ideally be done in pairs. It sounds like you only replaced the rear driver's side, which could wind up giving you lopsided brake performance. Did your mechanic recommend this?
Additionally, any leaking brake fluid is toxic, flammible, slippery, will destroy paint, and will eventually cause your brakes to stop working correctly.
