You either have some residual oil from a previous leak that will burn away and you will no longer smell oil, or you still have an active oil leak. Most mechanics will put in a dye into the oil and then use a special light to check for active oil leaks.
The common oil leak areas on these cars are in no particular order
1) rear main seal
2) oil pan
3) valve cover gaskets
4) broken CCV lines
5) turbo oil return block
6) turbo oil lines
7) bad valve stem seals
I've done all of these, some like the rear main seal multiple times. But you have an oil leak somewhere and unless you find it and repair it you need to take it to someone who can.
You don't list what leaks your mechanic found and repaired.
The test for bad valve steam seals is to warm the car up to full operating temp. Then let it sit and idle for at least 5 minutes. With a friend standing behind the car, quickly floor the car in park. If you see smoke out the exhaust you have bad valve stem seals which is common on n63's about every 60-70K miles.
