Can you renew your passport while traveling abroad?

The answer by @chx is correct. You can renew your passport at the consulate. But there is a difference between theory and practice. I remember the story of a person with double nationality who got both passports stolen while working abroad. One consulate took one day to make a new passport, the other two months.
It really depends on how busy your consulate is; you will have to ask them. The upside is that if you want to rely on a consulate you can ask any of your country consulates. If the nearest one is busy and there is another in an easy to reach neighbouring country you can try asking the second one.

Both posted answers are wrong, at least concerning Argentinean passports. While it is true that you can renew your passport at an Argentinean consulate, that's a service for Argentinean citizens residing in said consulate's jurisdiction, not for tourists. This is clearly explained in the Argentinean government's website.
Argentinean citizens have their national id card (DNI, "documento nacional de identidad") and said card states the person's address (which in particular implies the electoral district, and this is significant because voting in elections is mandatory in Argentina). To be able to renew the passport at the consulate one needs to officially change this address to an address in the foreign country (and consequently have their DNI renewed). This might be doable if one is willing to deceive the consulate officials, as no proof of residency is usually required. One would have to have the DNI re-issued again on return to Argentina. If my experience with Argentinean consulates is anything to go by, all this would take a significant amount of time.

The answer seems to be yes. However, in countries where there is an embassy and consulates definitely contact them first because it's possible consular services will only be provided by the consulate and not the embassy, strange as that sounds.
Your passport is expiring soon.
That's a problem, passport books are extremely secure documents and they are not printed by the embassy. They can issue a temporary one to return to Argentina but that can't be used to travel on. An ordinary passport booklet could take months for the embassy to ask the home office, get the home office to print it and get it to them. You need to call the embassy ASAP.
