The smell will appear randomly and disappear for minutes before coming back again. Not a constant smell.
If there is no fluid on the ground then it seems incredibly unlikely that is the transmission. Most likely would be coolant dripping onto the exhaust and evaporating. Only leaks while the system is pressurized(car is running) so there is no puddle. Get some UV dye and a blacklight kit from the auto parts store to try to track it down
