Mine also is most noticeable in a closed garage after 10-15 minutes.
I changed the plug tubes after I first noticed the smell last summer, because I was getting some leaking. There is firm oil/dirt mixture on the bottom of the cam cover edge, which I've tried to clean off as best as possible. No residue on top of the cat that I can feel (I can't see anything with a mirror but honestly it's hard to tell).
