My 2007 TDCi Sport has a hot oil smell coming into the cabin, pretty sure it is gearbox oil as smells of hot hypoid, mostly when towing and a hot day but not always, any ideas as to problem and cure.

hi just had the same problem on 57 plate aventura if you remove the gear knob and remove centre console you will see a metal plate holding a big rubber gator to the floor and gear stick . Remove the four 10mm bolts remove both the rubber gator and the other thick seal you can then get to the top of the gear box where you will see a small rubber gator that will have a split in £13 inc vat easy repair just lube up new gator very well as you have to force it over the gearstick sorted my bad smell out did it thursday towed the caravan for 50miles friday afternoon hot day no smell happy days i hope this helps
