My last scooby did exactly this, it turned out to be the front crank case seal. Cost about £80 done by subaru. The oil drips straight onto the exhaust manifold hence why it smells when it warms up, it really stinks doesn't it lol

Providing its not losing alot of oil, you make sure the oil stays topped up and its definately the rocker gasket it should be fine if you can put up with the burning oil and smoke.

Did you ever sort this out? How much was yours smoking? I have done my gasket but its still smoking, just trying to ascertain if my gasket didnt seal or it is something else!?
