Having recently performed this diff fluid service with the same Redline oil, I notice the smell as well. I've only driven <25 miles since the fluid change, so I suspect spillage has to burn off, despite my efforts to clean the area. I also noticed it seems more prevalent at gear change.

As in your case, there's no signs of leak or anything else abnormal. I did read in another post (can't find it now) that others have had to drive a few 100 miles before the smell of spilled oil residue subsided, so that's my current plan.

I'd be interested to hear if others have had this.
