The smell is most noticable from the right side rear fender vent and I think that's the trans output location. The shop manual mentions the possibility of the tiptronic fluid leaking into the diff and then overfilling the diff out the vent.
It would be kind of reassuring to hear that burning smells are normal but I doubt it.

When a CV boot goes, grease slings all over the place including the exhaust and makes an unusual smell.
