It is really not too bad at this point, and since it really doesn't seem like oil I haven't been real concerned.

Another weird smell issue I have is when the car sits overnight on a cool night, when I start the next morning with the AC on Fresh, within 10 sconds a strong hot plastic sort smell that goes away within another 10 seconds. Won't do it again until it sits overnight on a cold night.
Yes! this is the the same smell this weekend, this wasn't there before HFCs so im guessing this is def the case, as my brakes work just fine and had no such smell under hard braking as well.
