When you replace oil filter oil pours right on the exhaust pipe.
If your filter is not tight enough that might be one of the spots.

Valve cover gasket can also cause a buring oil smell. Wash down the engine when it is cold. Use a strong degreaser or solvent and then rinse with water. After driving it for a couple miles look for new oil around the gasket.

I cleaned the engine over the weekend. So far, no complaints from the little woman but will check this weekend for any fresh oil from valve cover.
Thanks for you help

I will check the oil filter, the little women had the vehicle serviced at a quick lube place recently.
Thanks for your help,
