No doubt cam covers... But if it has metal covers, maybe a crank seal leak.

Oil leaks are usually from cam covers, oil cooler pipes, upper sump, lower sump, front and rear crank seals.

I used to smell burning oil after each drive, even after changing cam cover gasket. Changed the lower sump and smell gone.
