Burning rubber smell near rear wheel?

I have a burning rubber smell near my passenger rear wheel. I only get the smell after a drive. It dissipates to quickly for me to find where it's coming from.
There is nothing rubbing the tires or touching the exhaust. Brakes don't feel hot.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I haven't changed the fluid recently. Last time it was done was February.

I had gears done at the same time. Everything has been good until now.

Where would gear oil be overflowing to smell like burnt rubber? Out the axle tubes?

Have a bottle of water on stand by. Drive until you smell it. Take
And poor water on your brake calipers and see if they steam. I had a bad caliper that wasnt releasing and it had a burned rubber smell.
