Engine oil smell through air blower

Just got the Ultima back after some major work, including replacing the the cat converter and exhaust manifold gasket. There is a distinct what I can only describe as a hot engine oil smell coming through the heater vents into the car particularly noticeable when the blower is working. It is not unbearably smelly but I am sure it should not be there! Has anyone any advice as to where to start looking for the source?

Some one has had oily hands all over the exhaust system and is still burning off.

Had similar problem with my 12v (and previously with a Sierra 2.9 4x4.) In both cases the rocker cover gaskets were leaking oil on to the block and then to the exhaust-cured with new gaskets.
