stinky transmission

I recently changed all my fluids on my 4runner. I have a 5spd and put in mobil 1 75w-90 in both the tranny and t-case. Now it stinks like gear oil bad inside the cab. I can smell it coming from the shifter, its especially bad on the hwy and under a load. I drained and refilled till fluid came out of the fill hole. Anybody experienced this problem? I can't take out a girl smelling like this

I'm experiencing the same thing after using the same oil. No idea on how to get rid of the smell.
