Check to see if there is oil on exhaust manifolds. If you recently changed oil an dpilled some on cover it often drains on that. Also check valve covers for leakage may be that.

If you smell gas see if there is a fuel leak if not it may be an engine problem so scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. Type of oil doesn't matter when you smell it burning.
