If the clutch master cylinder fluid level is OK and you haven't had to top it up it's gearbox. Gear oil has a very strong and distinctive smell.
 
Ah roger , I’m replacing the box anyway so that kind of rules the need for that I’ll whack a new slave and seal on and see how we go

Bingo, wiped the orifice and it stinks of gearbox oil, clutch reservoir is normal so looking gearbox rather than slave

A quick way to ID the crud is to see if it will mix with water.
No mix - oil
Mix - brake fluid
