Oil smell from vents

Hi. I have a 2015 with 32k miles. Just bought it from a local Ford dealer last month.
I've noticed a slight oil smell coming from the vents when I come to a stop. While driving it fine. The smell starts when I stop and goes away after about 10 seconds. Anyone experience this?
Ford dealer did oil, tranny, and transfer case oil change before I purchased. Thanks!

I would look for a valve cover leak.

I'd suspect they spilled one of the fluids during the work. Pop the hood and make sure the oil fill cap is closed and the tranny dipstick is seated properly.

^^Agreed. Sounds like what you get when an amatuer changes your oil. That oil is tough to pour out of the containers. Shouldn’t happen at a dealership though. As others have said, have it checked, seals, oil cap, dip stick, etc.
