'97 GTP- Bad oil smell, oil light on now.....?

I got stuck in the snow and kind-of got on it a bit. Since then when I turn corners I smell burnt oil. I just pulled in from work and the oil light came on and the check engine too......

Update:

The "incident" was last friday and all has been fine as far as running since then. I haven't seen any oil drips underneath. And the oil light came on a week later.

Update 2:

Just took a peek at it and I think I need valve cover gaskets. Looks like it burps oil out the front and when it hits the exhause manifold is where the smell is comming from. The oil light was not on either.....
