Yeah, that is the play I was referring to (it rotates a bit and I can spin the drive shaft a bit) there is no trace if oil anywhere...differential is bone dry, tranny area is bone dry & exhaust is bone dry. I am thinking it is brakes our stuck caliper because the smell was more notable on the passenger side...goes away pretty fast Like the brakes get hot then cool down. I did have the brake light come on a few days ago and reset it like usual lol!
