Is there a question here?

I'd say the only way you can get an oil burning smell is oil on (or in) the exhaust, and after an oil change exercise I would suspect spilled oil.

Are you sure what you're smelling is gear oil?

Burning gear oil certainly does have a very distinctive smell, but you should never smell it whilst driving the vehicle, that would imply gear oil is landing on the exhaust close to the engine. A visual inspection should be adequate to determine the source- it will have made quite a mess.
