Oil leak help please

The car runs fine, doesn’t overheat but the smell is pretty bad after long ish drives and there is obviously oil there but not sure at all where it could be coming from. The level seems to not move but I am definitely burning oil when I’m driving. Here is a picture, Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys, merry Xmas!

It's either leaking from the bottom of your timing cover or your dipstick tube. Take off the under tray and have a look. Common thing with these cars, so don't worry too much. The smell is the oil dripping onto your header and burning. The reason you're likely not seeing the oil level change is most timing cover leaks (with a few exceptions) tend to only sweat a little bit of oil when the car is running.
