Question Question for people who have had their engine replaced.

I've had two engines replaced. This second engine has has a smell to it from the day they put it in. Once the car is warmed up if you have the windows down you get this smell. I can only describe it has smelling like gear oil. The stealership has done a full check on the car for leaks and can''t find anything. Has anybody else had this problem?
