Odd Cabin Smell Issue

Not sure if this is much to go on but over the last couple of drives my Z has developed a foul exhaust/oily/maybe overheating smell.

The smell comes from the air heater vents. I cant seem to smell it when the bonnet is lifted. When I switch the aircon on it also goes. It seems worse when stationary and pulling off when the engine is hot.

I am guessing maybe an oil/exhaust leak but surely I would smell this outside of the car.

Has anybody ever experienced anything like this?
 
Could be loads of things, one thing to check is the rear of the rocker gasket, it weeps and drips a small amount of oil onto the cat/exhaust and causes a burning smell.
