Drove no more than 1/4 of a mile when i stopped to park and noticed an engine oil burning smell.

then a puff of smoke came from the scoop.

took it up the dealership and the engine was free fom any oil leak or showing any...

Anyone???

I have the same thing,
being non-techincal i'm going to try to explain what my problem was

there is a drum on your driversside of the propshaft from your engine to your wheels, that small drum (Green with me) contains the oil to lubricate the propshaft, there is a black plastic sealing on that drum that prevents the oil from leaking

apparently it's a common failiure for these sealings to go when the oil gets thinner and starts dripping out of it, after a drive it's possible this oil gets onto your exhaust or manifold, causing a burning smell or puffs of smoke from the scoop

solution was taking that drum aprart and cleaning all the bits according to the dealer, he'll do it next time the car is in for service
(just a ring (seal) inside that sometimes get filthy)

Could be your rocker cover gasket leaking, happened to me. On the drivers side it is right above the begining of the up pipe to the turbo and drips on it occasionally. It doesn't use an obvious amount of oil but smells and occasionally smokes a little. Apparently quite common and easy to fix by dealer, specialist or yourself if brave and familier with it.
