Historicly, blown cam cover gasket, usually pass side. Oil dripping down on the heat shield. Or over spill from topping up at the filler neck I suppose....?

this doesnt smell of oil burning on a manifold, its more like when you pull an engine breather pipe off when the engines warm if that makes any sense? :-?
