Weird Oil Smell?

Right have noticed over the last couple of days that when im driving the r i get a weird oil smell inside the car? Could it have something to do with the turbo oil feed pipe or the sump thats got a very slight leak? Just waiting for the oil feed to arrive then will be sorting them two out. Any ideas?

you got the intake vent pipe blocked off and using a breather on your catch tank? can cause a smelly car

One needs to go from the right side of the rocker to the catchtank then the other side of the catchtank pipe needs to go to atmosphere via a filter. Mine also has the intake pipe blocked off. Apperently this isnt good even tho alot of people have done it. i want to join mine back up but not sure of the pipes that need connecting on the intake side if you get me?
