The oil seals failing would result in blue smoke out the exhaust. Did you get underneath to look for drips?

If it smells like oil then it must be burning off from somewhere - take off the heatshield and check the feed and return pipes.

All you can really do mate is look around.

hi mate smo i right you would see blue smoke out your exhaust an that just looks like youve got a leak somewhere, just check to see if the oil feed on the top of your turbo is leaking an if its not that then just have a good look round oh an check your power steering rez coz sometimes they can leak

I would go with the leaking rocker gasket dripping onto the uppipe, mine did the same, can be a pain to seal them.
