Question oil smell?

I am just wondering are the 7s' suppose to have some oil smell when you open the hood after driving for any distance? If so, is it because of the OMP injection oil into the engine? The Oil pressure is normal. I can't find any oil leak and I am not loosing any oil?????

It does burn oil and the harder you drive it, the more it burns. It smells like burnt oil, correct?

I hate that smell. It doesn't seem right, like the smell
of an old *** engine full of sludge trying to die. or an engine burning itself up. mine does that too,i've got good oil presure,and engine temp is 1/4 on the temp guage. but i have a small oil leak that has gone away again. this is the second time for it to come and go, wierd .
