Oil leak

I have a 2017 F 150 with a 3.5 motor in it, I have a smell of oil in the cab. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the valve cover gasket and they said seals around the spark plugs? While got it back and it still smells like oil inside of the cab. Any ideas?

In case you’re wondering, no, most repair shops would not clean up the oil that leaked out onto your engine.
