Take out your air filter, take a paper towel and wipe it around in your intake pipe. There will be some oil in there but if the paper towel looks saturated with oil, you'll need to figure why.

Sometimes It takes a while for oil to build up wherever is convienent. Maybe it's puddling somewhere and then when that spot fills, it dumps spme oil into the intake tract...

Check your oil level. I had my oil changed once and the shop over filled it. On sharp left corners extra oil would slosh out the VC vent into the intake pipe. It would smoke for a while and burn it out, then be fine, the another left it would start again. Took me a few days to figure out what was going on.

True. Check this Aaron ASAP, as too much oil could also put your engine in a risk of causing oil aeriation, which inevitably, will make your engine go boom.
