Oil Light Coming On After fixing it: anyone with same experience?

Good morning everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone had a similar experience and seeing if I could get some ideas, before I inevitably bring my car back to the mechanic.

For a week, my car would have the oil light coming on (only when I would break) and smoke coming off the hood of my car. It turned out it was an oil leak. I went to the mechanic and they changed my valve cover gaskets. I got it done on Friday and the whole weekend, my car did not smell like smoke anymore, no more smoke coming off the hood and no more light.

This morning I pulled in at work and I noticed that my oil light came on at the very last part of my trip, as I was breaking. However I do not see any smoke anymore and the smell is almost gone (the mechanic cleaned up the oil that leaked and cause the smell and said to go and get a car wash that would wash the undercarriage to fully remove it).

I have an old Ford Edge, it is a 2008 Ford Edge Limited 3.5L 6Cyl GAS Naturally Aspirated.

Anyone with a similar situation? What did you do next? I will contact my mechanic soon but if I could get an idea it would be great and a peace of mind!
