Smells like teen transmission fluid?
Nah but for real I started my car this morning and it smelt like straight transmission fluid. I drive a manual. Also I didn’t drive it yesterday but the back it down the driveway and didn’t have this problem. I also didn’t smell it until I started it up.

Did you check to see if there's a leak?

How many miles are on your car? Is there any other issues with the car?
Here is my TOB with the sleeve/cover broken off and the fluid was missing from the bearing. There was a smell coming from the transmission area when this was leaking before it finally broke. https://i.imgur.com/txD1LGt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nZvyd0u.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6MrSNXo.jpg |

43351 miles. And normal wear. Normal gear grinding like all the twins. I only smelt it this morning and it was gone after driving to my first job. I’ve probably driven 35 miles today and still no smells. I just thought it was weird. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I do however drive my car fairly hard, but I don’t notice any problems honestly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
You have low miles, so I doubt it is the TOB, but just pay attention to it. Other smells that can smell like oil is a belt slipping/burning, rubber/plastic burning against the manifold/engine, oil dripping on your exhaust system, possibly coolant hitting the exhaust system (possibly normal overflow/drainage from hot weather) and driving behavior like slipping the clutch by depressing it slightly and giving too much gas.

many of these cars have TEENY oil leaks that burn and smell. i think it just comes with the territory. check all the fluids regularly.
