Check the Michelin Man hose and see if there is an accumulation of oil in it. 
 I have seen several 2Cs / 5ks do the same thing with apparently healthy 
engines but after the hoses were cleaned the problem when away - for a while. 
 I make a point to clean  the hoses at every oil change - it seems all turbos 
weep a little oil and the ribs in the MM hose are a natural reservoir.  
Regular cleaning also extends the life of the hose.
That has been my experience but other opinions are certainly welcome.
