If this is occurring in cold weather it can be due the PCV system building
up water. This can ultimately cause oil to be pushed out through the
weakest seal, ie Cam Shaft or Valve Gasket. This has happened to me twice
in two weeks and what really needed to be done was to clean out the PCV
system. It was recommended to call the following number and submit a
complaint this is what might start a recall on this obvious design error.
800-822-2834. Good luck and don’t forget to complain about it.

Water from where?

How do you do that? Is crankcase breather hose part of PCV system? I
recently changed that hose, but that hose has different diameter on one
end than diameter on other end and I could not find hose like that. So I
made a metal reducer that reduces diameter conically, and two constant
diameter hoses on each end. Maybe it's clogged?

It's snowing here, and very cold, I will check that when snow melts.

And your problem happened twice in two weeks, and I still drive with no
problems (that I can notice :-)

My car is some 16 years old, I do not think that there might be any
recall.
