What is the smell of overheated engine oil when all other things are OK ie engine running normal temp?
[Edit]

Answer

If you have a small oil leak that gets a little oil on the exhaust manifold, it will cause a strong odor. Steam clean or pressure wash the engine then run it briefly to see if you see any new oil on from the rocker cover or anywhere else that might leak onto the manifold.
