Tried checking rear diff area but can't find oil leaks, but it was on a floor Jack so can't get really inside to check.
I did feel upshift quite rough and slipping on my second session to end till end of the day.
Any thoughts?

if its a very nasty oil smell , its surely the diff oil that leaked of , since the breather goes on the top left of the sub-frame (driver side)
This is why its good to have a small catch can when something like this happen.
you probably overheated it or there was too much in it.
