Can a bad cv boot cause burning oil smell?

Bear with me. I've always had issues with burning oil smells coming in through my vents from the engine bay, I recently changed the rocker cover gaskets as they were leaking oil, and the smell was the oil leaking onto hot manifolds and the turbo etc.

That kinda fixed it but just the other day I smelled it again very strong, and upon closer inspection the inner cv boot on the passenger side has split and flung a thin line of grease in a perfect arc all across everything including the starter motor and turbo heat shield. The Cv boot needs to be repaired obviously but I was wondering if you think that will also fix the burning smell I've been experiencing recently?

Sounds like it will

No. There is no way that a burning lubricant can smell like a burning lubricant.
