I would check the rocker cover gasket. I have a vague memory of that on my old D3 S8 and it turned out to be just the rocket cover gasket but the oil was pooling around the undertray and causing the smell.

I think it was the gasket in the vee, is that the rocker cover? that was leaking on Ron's (Noretal) V10 S8.

Just to update in case anyone has similar oil leak on a s8 d3
It was the O ring on one solenoid causing oil leak thanks to kele above
Not the actual rocker cover, should have checked properly before buying new cover for £260 At least it’s sorted now.
