My post #16 in the second link shows my RTV'ed valvetronic gasket. Also, as I mentioned the PCV hose can get brittle and crack. This is another known problem.

Not sure if your car is affected by the PCV heater recall. One of the symptoms is burning oil smell IIRC. If the oil pan leak is *very little*, I doubt you will smell the amount of burning oil that you did. How much (quart/miles) is it leaking?
