Very slight oil burning smell when coming to a stop. Is my list of stuff to check correct?

Hey everyone, so after doing a leak down and compression test I lost compression in cylinder 1. I had my tuner check the data log and he did not see anything in the log that looked out of place. I’ll be putting in a new engine and selling the after market parts. Keep an eye out on the for sale page in the next coming weeks.

Dang it, oil burning smell is back. Comes in through the vents, pretty strong with the windows up, goes away on recirc. Smells like burning oil, not hot oil like the 2j used to vent into the car. Immediately after stopping I popped the hood and there’s almost no oil smell under the hood. I think I’m burning oil :/
I had a scare where my oil got too hot and thin, and it weeped past the compressor side seal. I had a boomba bov spacer on it, the dripping from my brace where it got misted with oil clued me in. The hot side would only stink a lot with no other indicators except maybe puffs of smoke on decel or hard boost.

Blech this is annoying. Just did an oil change a week ago (with like 600 miles on the previous oil, felt it prudent to swap the oil after they fixed the vapor thing that was allowing gas to get into my oil). My oil now does not smell like gas (woohoo!) but man, that burning oil smell is burning my throat/chest something fierce. I'm going to toss a carbon monoxide detector on my passenger seat and drive around, if it goes off it becomes a health and safety issue and I'll escalate with the dealership accordingly.

A thought - could the empty/hanging symposer hose be channeling some oil smell into the passenger compartment? I don’t know where the symposer hose ends up in the passenger compartment, but is it possible it’s venting a little oil smell into some place that it winds up smelling from the interior vents/blowers?

So I think, due to the chain of events, that I need to replace my exhaust gasket where it goes from the downpipe to the exhaust.
my evap issue was putting a lot of fuel into my oil, so I was constantly over-filled. Now that the evap issue is fixed, the car smells less and less like burning oil but Its been replaced with a strong exhaust smell in the car from the vents. I’ve never replaced that gasket despite swapping exhausts around 13-14 times now. I’m going to swap back to stock exhaust and figured I should replace the gasket while I am at it. I ordered one from whoosh but it’s not going to arrive soon enough so I picked up one @ the dealer for like 5 bucks.
anywhere else that I could be getting exhaust smell from under the hood?
