Guys if you have oil leaking on the ground that is from a very HIGH oil level in your center bearing housing. The oil is migrating from the engine oil tank thru your engine mounted oil filter and back-filling into your turbochargers..

Check up higher too for valve gasket leaks. I understand this is a pretty common replacement after 14 years even on low mileage cars...

Usually when you have a valve cover leak the oil will drip and cook on the heat exchangers. You will get that lingering burning smell ALL the time. The cam chain covers will drip at a slower rate usually on top of your cats. Since the turbochargers are sitting towards your rear wheels the oil is a direct shot to your garage floor.
