Default oil leaking and or burning near turbo side

Can somebody help please, I recently had my sump changed in my 03 blob estate, since then I've smelt oil burning on every drive but seen no leaks on ground !!! I need my mechanic to have another look but thought here is my best bet, thanks

Almost certainly. Wait until the engine is cooler, run your fingers along the bottom and sides of the off side cam cover.

rocker cover gasket, nothing to worry about as long as you get it sorted (properly)
