Oil Light On When Stopped. Burning Smell!

I have a 2001 Lincoln Ls V6

After you drive the car for 5 or 10 minutes and you start stopping, lights, stop signs or whatever, the oil light comes on. It's been doing it for a week or so. But I haven't had any oil loss. The last couple of days it has been doing the same thing but now it's leaking a small amount of oil. It's not coming from the oil pan bolt or the oil filter, it's somewhere higher up. Today I could smell burning oil and a red light.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Sounds like the usual valve cover gasket oil leak.
