If the car sits for long periods of time like mine, you will see it from time to time.
one theory is oil seeping through the heads, personally i think its just some small pubbling of oil in the intake from the PCV valve.
If you ever coast down in gear to a stop to listen to your pipes burble, like i do some times, that oil flying around has to go somewhere.
Plus mine is a Garage Queen, it only gets out on dry weekends.
Come to think of it I have not noticed it since around 12,000 miles, she now has 17,500.

Just keep a vigilant eye on your dip stick, I really think its normal for our 32 valves, theres a lot of stuff moving under those big ole valve covers.
