My money's on the PVC hose

That is exactly the progression of events that occurred with my own car, and it turned out to be a deteriorated PVC hose (to the point of being disconnected) right where it exits the valve cover (passenger side toward the back of the valve cover). That's why it became noticeable through the HVAC because the vapors/fumes were exiting the underhood area at the location of the intake vent. Check that hose all the way to the back of the engine. Your mechanic may have bumped it loose when putting in the new oil.
