Possibly blow by? Do a leak down test. And check the PCV.

Just pull the oil fill cap while the engine is running and look for "puffs" of smoke comming out as you lightly rev the engine.
It could just be something random, don't jump to conclusion. Also sometimes the dipstick will leak a little where it goes into the block, just use a little silicon and it will seal right up.

Has it ever been out? If it has and it never had silicone put around it and taped in far enought it will leek. There is also a bolt that holds it in, check to be sure that is there.
