A similar "hot-oil" smell can be caused by a leaking seal at the oil pressure contact switch which drips down onto the exhaust (most pronounced at driver's front wheel well, which you can also actually see under some light conditions). This happened to two of my '99 9-5's at 75K to 100K miles, and is a fairly common ailment. Cost about $80 to replace switch, including an hour's labor.
