How many miles has the car done? what oil have you used? Is the car using a lot of oil whilst driving? Did the car fully run out of oil when it was leaking? It might just be the case of leaking oil has hit a moving fan and spread onto the engine/exhaust causing an oily smell as it burns off?

mazda oil, about 37,000 miles 2004. not alot anymore since replaced oil tank and other stuff which cost over £1,000 to repair!   there was corrosion at parts under the drive side , bits of metal came out of exhaust when it happened and just under the driver side there was smoke also at the time loss of power of the car to move.  at the moment when the gear box warms up after a long drive theres that strong smell of oil inside
