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.

My bad, not thinking clearly about the breather side.

Thank you for the correction sir

Thanks guys, I believe it is diff oil, very nasty smell. I can remember that smell well since I just changed it last month. It was a hot day, track temp was 60 degree C, probably overheated it good.
I may have over filled it too, but Cant be sure.
Hopefully it's not anything catastrophic
