FWIW, check the cam coverplate for leaks yourself. I took mine into the dealership for a similar burning-oil-sort-of smell in the cockpit, and they assured me that there were no leaks. The next day I read this forum, checked my cam coverplate, and there was a butt-obvious leak there. Returned to the dealership to have it fixed... and they didn't know where the coverplate was.. sigh.
JIC.. it's on the passenger side of the engine, sort of facing the battery. Stand by the passenger door front seam abd look down into the open space between the battery and the engine, and you'll see a plain steel plate held on with 3 bolts. I bet the bottom bolt is oily and grimy. That's your problem, if it is. Easy fix.
Good luck.
