i have yet to drive it (tomorrow) hoping that fixed my oil smell problem

Yeah that is probably it. Before I did the plenum, my PCV valve had an abnormally loud rattle, which usually means its stuck open, if it doesnt rattle usually mean it is stuck shut. Turns out the PCV valve that was in there was the stock one from 1996. They need to be replaced every 30k miles.
