No, not the cam plate, it's a different indescribable smell, the cam plate smells like "engine" and this is different. But the diff and transmission oil was never changed on my car, so it's well overdue (18k miles total, and 400 miles track this year - 2 1/2 years old).
Well, the smell of diff oil cannot be mistaken. It's really sick inducing. The first time when I opened the drain plug I nearly threw up lol
