Start from the top and work your way down. Check everything that has a gasket. Front and rear of intake, valve covers, seals and oil pan. If any of those points are damp with oil then clean engine as best as you can, drive again for a few miles, park and check again. My bet is you are getting oil onto the exhaust somehow.
