Yeah. It's the inner CV joint, not the gearbox itself. Gearbox oil has a very particular smell, so it's not that. It's just a much thinner grease than I've come across before.

While I was removing the engine today - minus gearbox, not something I'd do again, what a ballache - I managed to pop out the inner driveshaft joint.
