VC replacement just done but oil smell?

I just did my VC with a new OE VC and gaskets. I have only driven it 40m since but the smell of burning oil was still very present at the end of my first drive.

Did anyone have the same issue and it's just residual oil that needs to be burned off? I don't see any leaks but I would love input as it was leaking on the back edge down on the down pipe etc. so I didn't get a chance to clean that part. I will need a mirror and have to remove all the sound and engine cover to check but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks IA. That synthetic oil really seems to take its time?
