I think I've read the GM transmission can make a smell when it fails. ______________________________

not being with the vehicle its difficult to diagnose something like this ..it could be a blown gasket to a racoon trapped under the exhaust but i hope you get it sorted.. ... - .- -.

it might sound daft but have you checked to see if a poly bag has got stuck on the exhaust Shocked ...it may be that it smell worse when reversing due to the change in air flow........i know....its a mad suggestion...but it happened to me many years ago....just worth a look.

Without smelling it its very hard to guess tho.

Another random sugesstion - sticking brake caliper. Not often noticed in the cabin though and the smell is very distinct smell - think the smell from welding and its pretty similar. 2008 TDV8

Is you dipstick in place correctly. If the oil separator thingy gets clogged it can create crankcase pressure that blows the dipstick out and then oil gets sprayed around the engine bay.

Could also be the FBH exhaust fumes, when mine worked I got a smell on start up. .

Apologies

FBH - Fuel Burning Heater - the Webasto thing your service guy muttered about. (The FBH is made by Webasto)

Worth getting codes checked, maybe it is working too well!! .
