A lot of the twins have dripped a tablespoon or two (literally) on the exhaust manifold between oil changes. The 0W20 oil smell was noticeable occasionally but oil loss would not be. I bet thats what you are smelling. You need to shine a light behind the engine on the passenger side where the header connects to the overpipe and look for a bit of burnt oil stain on the exhaust and the slightly oily cover at the rear of the valve head just above it.
