Have you had a look under the car, have seen drive shafts come lose and throwing grease up round the engine exhaust area, only really smell it when you come to a stop...

worth checking !

or maybe an oil leak... worth having a look or getting someone to have a look for you.

Where and when do get the smell?

inside more or outside ?
