The Tip right side is also the final drive side. This side will develop a leak at axle thus differential oil will be slung around and onto the exhaust. Mine is doing that right now and I have an Indy who is going to replace it for $250 plus parts. I thought it was a plastic smell at first. But hypo oil has a strange smell when it burns. So, check as see if you have a leak on either side where the axle comes out of the TIP.
