The engine sucks air through the sump via the TB and picks up oil vapour/droplets which can

condense in the pipework and then enter the engine.

If you drive very sedately this oil builds up and does not get into the engine until you
accelerate quickly.

Some oil is normal,I suggest you find a section of straight road and kick it down hard to clear the pipework.

Watch for smoke in your rear view mirror.
