Looks like oil leak near the top of engine near the oil fill hole. Oil blows back over the top of the engine and runs down on the exhaust headers causing the garage to be filled with the joyful smell of burning oil after every drive.

Update from May 4, 2016: Oil leak has been fixed. On a hunch I went to the Chevy dealer and purchased a new oring for the oil fill cap, the nice young man at the parts counter even installed it for me. Happy to report that the new oring has fixed the oil leak blowing back from the top of the engine onto the back side exhaust manifold. Now my garage no longer smells like burning oil when I park the car.
