Burning oil smell

So as of recent, maybe the last month, temperatures have dropped and the heat's been on daily, but as of the last week I've been getting a burnt oil smell when the heat is on, especially if the car doesn't move. I haven't noticed any abnormal oil consumption or smoke (granted with the cold it's always smoking) and no weird smoke from engine bay. I did take a look at the valve cover and there definitely some seepage from it. Could that be enough to cause the smell?
Plugs and coils were done less than 10k miles ago and have been running MHD 1+ for less than 2k miles.

Here's what the seepage looks like.. one pic is from the front corner, the other is passenger side rear above turbo..
