2008 4.8, smoke from engine bay when engine off

I have a 2008 4.8 with 121K on the clock, runs great. Up until yesterday i noticed a burning oil smell coming from the driver side of the motor rising when the car was off. No CEL, i will have inpa codes available tomorrow. Motor runs very smooth although lots of smoke rises when its off. I'm thinking its a valve cover gasket leak dripping on the exhaust? When looking underneath drops of oil come down on the ground. Anyone experience something like this? I am running mobil 1 synthetic 10w40 for the hotter months
