it's a VVT fault, not a VVEL fault although VVEL does use VVT to do its job. There are separate codes for VVEL faults. how often do you change your oil? what viscosity oil is in there at the moment?
you might have an internal oil leak
Could be internal, they replaced valve cover gasket at least twice and replaced the valve cover back in the spring. But I swear I always still seemed to smell like oil if I had the vents open.

Run 5w30, oil changed about 3500 mi ago.

Mods....M370 mani, Berk HFC, OEM Nismo exhaust. But those have been on for awhile haven't messed with anything under hood since summer.
