    Remove the dip stick and have a look why colour the oil Is as well, if its a creamy colour then it's the head gasket

    without seeing it it is difficult, but you keep saying it smells of rubber, the things that come to mind are, HT lead burning on the cylinder or exhaust pipe or possibly some of the wiring, or the variator clutch drive belt which might be rubbing or shredding, it wont take a minute to remove the casing and look.
