Have you gotten under the car... you know... poked around to see from where the oil might be coming?

Drops oil? OK. Are there just 'drops' or is a puddle evident?

Do you have a question?

Details, man. Details.
The smell of oil is when travelling along and at running temperature, the oil is drops on the drive not puddles but for both symptoms it is not there all the time

It is not possible for someone on a forum to tell you where the oil is coming from.
Any answer would be a guess. Other then saying it is transmission oil or engine oil.
That is as close as one can get without a visual inspection.

You should either jack it up and do a visual.
or take it to a shop that has a hoist and have it inspected.
