wierd noises and smells
After startup first thing in the morning you smell oil for a few seconds then goes away. Then driving a slight moan from the engine bay. You can kill the engine then the sound stops and never returns until the car is completely cold again.
Both have me stumped! Advise and help? Replace the valve cover gasket about 4 months ago.

The smell could be coming from the engine compartment through the cabin air filter housing. I have seen several times that the rubber seal between the hood and the engine bay / cabin air cleaner has shrunk over time and needs to be resituated so that it seals. What I did was check every connection where the rubber meets and make sure that all joints are tight. If not you could try some black silicone or peel off the rubber and re stretch it as heat has shrunk it over time. Just look toward the back of the engine and you will see the cabin air section.
