Default Does this explain the burning smell

So its been really hot the past couple days 95+ and when driving my car has not been overheating or anything its been getting hot though.

Anyways I have noticed oil is starting to leak out from the pcv valve grommet and also a burning smell. The oil path goes down the valve cover and looks like it touches the very hot header. Would this explain my burning smell because I opened the hood as soon as I got home to see if anything was burning up or any smell was coming from there but nothing. Oil level good, oil pressure fine, coolant level good not leaking. No other oil leaks btw just out that pcv grommet.

Meh

does it smell like burning oil, which has a very unique smell. Do you ever notice any smoke from around the hood?

can you see burn oil on the header?
