If you smell oil, then you are leaking it somewhere and burning it. could be so many different things some were already mentioned. I also have seen AOS tubes including the tubes from the heads to the AOS leak. on an older car they dry out and crack. Power steering pump reservoir could leak and the oil stays on top of engine until you drive and some spills and burns on the exhaust. Had a car that did that.
It's like smoke, you see it you smell it , there is a fire.

unfortunately they are not easy to get to, under and between intake manifold from the left head in front (4-6) the AOS sits on top of the other head. then you have a short tube from the AOS to the throttle body. the hose is about 3/4" diameter and accordianed to make it flexible
