Help to locate oil leak

Hi everyone:
I think I found the reason that my car have strong burning smell. Could someone please tell me where is the oil leak possible came from? These are pictures of one of the catalytic converters I took under the car. It looked like it dripped down directly from somewhere above in the area of the back of the valve cover gasket but it’s not. The VCG is bone dry on the front, on the side, and back. Thanks
