Sounds like rocker cover gaskets. I've had mine go twice and each time you get the stink of burning oil through the vents.

Yes, definately sounds like the old favourite!! Pull one of the plug leads and see if it's covered in oil.

You're obviously losing oil, and if its really smelling, its probably buring on exhaust. So, as others have said, firts place to look is rocker gaskets....
