Default burning oil smell after clutch change

I had my clutch changed a couple of weeks ago and I'm still getting a smell of burning oil. I was told would stink at first (and it did) but the smell is still there after a drive. Oil level seems to be OK and I can't see any leak. Oh the turbo had to come off to drill the broken studs out.

What should I be checking?

Thanks

Hi, have you checked that the oil feed pipe is tight?

Well normally no oil would escape on a clutch change, but if turbo has been off check the turbo oil feed pipe

Hi, it's a metal pipe with a banjo bolt going through it.
I think it's located on top of the turbo

It's better to ask than bugger it up

Well after more poking about, the turbo oil feed seems to be fine, but I have found the leak. It is the front crank seal

It was just a coincidence that it happened after the clutch.

Many thanks for your help
