Default What is this all over my tranny

Since I've been driving this I have been smelling a little bit of burning, like there was something on my engine that was getting burnt off. Today I put it in the garage, started it up and saw a little bit of smoke. From what I can see and smell, there is something all over my bell housing. It's dark in color, and it looks very built up over time. It's just burning off now. Does anyone know what this could be? It's not oil, I keep a very close eye on my oil, and the level hasen't moved a bit. Any ideas?
