I had a similar problem a few oil changes ago, came to find out the filter wasn't screwed on tight enough and there was oil leaking out around the filter.
I haven't had the problem since. but there is really no telling what problem you might be having, you might need some new piston rings. or a complete rebuild for that matter.

check your valve cover gaskets, they may be leaking oil onto your exhaust manifold or something which would cause the smell. when you checked your oil, was it low as well, or just dirty?

It will hurt your performance when your engine blows completely to hell because it doesn't have any oil left in it......

check your exaust maniold, your valve cover(s) the seals around your intake manifold, also, is there water in the oil? Or oil in the water in the radiator? Do you spill when you do your oil change?

ever thought about doing an SR-20B motor swap? I don't know where you live, but there are plenty of places in southern Cali that can do that swap.:smoker2:

May I suggest a compression test and possibly an oil analysis?
Good luck
