An alternative possibility is that you ran over a plastic bag and it's stuck to the exhaust system.
Hmm didnt think of a plastic bag scenario- that *may* be a possibility. But I do believe the right rear is warmer than the left rear and the smell seems to be predominantly on the right side (passenger side)
