I didn't get a code when mine was leaking. Mine was a very small leak though. I just know it is fairly close to the belt. I was thinking it might throw it onto the exhaust. Although it sit away from the belt itself. Just a thought...

My friend had the same problem on his 40th ann, and it was his valve cover gasket. Once he replaced them, he had no more problems with smelling oil.
