hi guys,

so i changed my gearbox and diff oil on the weekend and now all i can smell when im driving is gear oil. i rechecked the fill/drain holes straight away and they are all good. i spilt a little bit of diff oil on the exhaust when i was filling it up, but ive since done a 200km drive up to the city and back, so i assume that would have all been burnt off by now. is there anyway that a leak or something could have been triggered? this smell is driving me insane.

I would try checking everywhere to see where the oil spilt as transmission oil smells bad any time without burning it.

I would then be trying to wipe it off or if it is in a spot that you cannot get to then hit it with some degreaser but make sure that you hose it off well. There could be some that is on the side of the gearbox and it is slowly dripping into the exhaust - it only takes a few spots on the exhaust to smell bad.
