Most commonly it's the valve cover, leaking enough to burn on the
exhaust manifold. The smell is God's little way of telling you are about
to catch fire and burn to death.

Re: fowl oil oder from jeep
 

not just the exhaust manifold, a bad valve cover gasket will get you
oil running down the back of the engine and onto the exhaust pipe
below. I had to steam clean my engine compartment and undercarriage
after my rear main seal went bad.

Could be some drizzled down the side of the block last time it was filled
with oil and is burning off.

I second the suggestion of taking it to the car wash and giving it an all
over scrubbing, under the hood and the under belly.
