Why would my engine oil be leaking but not giving me an oil alert light?

What is your question?

My car has been leaking oil for a while but there has been no light or anything indicating a problem. Occasionally it smells like burning oil…. The car runs as well as it always has… and there has been no error light or anything.

How long has your 2012 Chevrolet Equinox had this problem?

A few months
