Try this one:

Jack up the rear right side of the car and
remove the tire. Make sure all 3 tires are secured
before doing this.

Then remove the tire well lining plastic panel.

Start the engine and turn on the AC.

Check if there is oil leak around the spark plugs area.

Watch if the oil is dripping.

If there is, oil leak is coming from the spark plug area
and dripping straight down to catalyctic converter.
Smoke and rubber smell should be coming out.
In this case, you need to open and remove the spark
plug collar and replace the o-rings.
However, if the oil is coming above the spark plugs,
you need to do some more trouble shooting and
locate the source of the leak.
Hope this help and good luck.
