Default thick black oil leak

Hey, yesterday just brute I succeed home I could smell burning oil. Parked the car up and popped the bonnet and smoke was coming up from the turbo area. Now I'm pretty sure this is just oil burning off that may have touched the exhaust, turbo our engine itself. I don't have the ability to check under the car but this morning I rolled car back and noticed a couple of small pools of oil around the size of a 20c piece. It was very thick and black. So thick the pools were a few mm raised in height. The car drives fine (my06 wrx) but I'm concerned that thick black oil may mean gearbox or front diff? Any elaboration would be nice. The engine oil level still fine but I'm thinking i shouldn't drive it.
