oil leak

Hey Scotty,

I have 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe with almost 140,000 miles on it. I started noticing a smell like the car was burning oil, so looked and noticed there was oil dripping down on the ground and some of it was burning on the hot engine causing the smell. I took it to a mechanic and he replaced the valve cover gaskets where it was leaking. Now there is no more dripping, but after a few weeks I am still noticing the same smell occasionally. I don't notice every time I drive the car and sometimes it is stronger than other times. What could problem be? 

P.S. I am a big fan of your channel!

If you can clean the engine you could get some oil dye that would definitely help for isolating point of Leak
