Are you sure its oil? If its is, you have major mechanical problems.

It might just be running too rich and what your seeing is a combination of unburnt fuel, soot and water vapor.

my car does the same thing, I don''t really worry about it because it''s my winter car and the only downside I''ve ever had was having to put more oil in the car then I''ve ever put in a car, that thing burns oil like there is no tomorrow... the joys of owning a sohc saturn

I''ve had my car a couple of years, nothing really had has happend to the enging though, get it checked out when you can though, the sooner the better
