Re: burning oil smell
Have you tried popping the hood? If you're burning oil smoke should be visible. Use a flashlight around dusk to help find the smoke. Obviously your efforts should be focused on the exhaust components (manifolds, y-pipe, etc.). If you come up empty handed you'll have to get beneath the car to check the rest of the exhaust.

I would check around your dip stick were it goes into the pan and its support bracket I had a similar issue . It would drip from the broken support bracket (2small holes) and from being loose in the pan dripping onto the exhaust
