Default Cam breather...?

recently I modified the breathers so that they vent to atmosphere (down by the front suspension arms).
on sunday I wrapped and sprayed my downpipe, removed the undertray and the turbo heatshield (in readiness for a td05 switch on saturday ).

since removing the tray and shield I have noticed a bit of a whiff down by the drivers door, newly wrapped downpipe (which has had a sweet smell).
just yesterday the smell has had the faintest hint of burning oil (I think).
could it be from the cam breather (o/side) and simply I notice it more because the undertray is off?

could it be something more sinister?
