I am smelling diff fluid after my track days. Is this normal?
Backstory:
During my previous track day i was on 75w90 Motul, and the diff fluid smell came after the track day, so I swapped it out for 75w140. The diff fluid smell did go away for awhile, or maybe it was some placebo effect going on.
However, after my current track day, the smell is back. The unmistakable god damn awful smell of diff fluid. I have checked for leaks but no avail... Thoroughly confused on where the smell is coming from... Any advice?
P.S. This is my first car with an active diff..so am not really familiar with all the quirks of it :P

I believe the pumpkin has a breather valve on it.
What kind of tires are you running, how long are you lapping sessions, how much power do you make, and how experienced are you?
Are you sure you're smelling the diff specifically?
Do you still have the stock LSD or aftermarket?
