it can only be coming from the front of the transmission or rear of the engine. Engine oil and hyd oil smell differently if that helps.

Sorry to hear this, seals can sometimes wear a slight groove into the crankshaft and not seal fully. I'm sure your mechanic checked this. Try a high mileage engine oil. It has a seal sweller additive in it. It may or may not help. How many hours are on the engine? Are you sure the pan gasket is not "sweating" oil?
