This Can Be Caused By A Couple Things. You Have Overfilled The Engine In Oil ( which I doubt). The Oil Is Not Returning To The Oil Pan As Fast As It Should And Staying In The Valve Train, Under The Valve Covers. Your Engine Is Worn And You Have Excessive Blowby Try Putting A 5 Weight Oil 5W 40 This May Clean The Sludge From The Oil Gallies. If It Isn`t All That Bad, Just Keep Driving. GOOD LUCK
