Classic overfill symptom.
 
There's too much oil in the crankcase - it foams until the rising foam level 
meets a piston moving a little faster than the last time around, and some 
foamed oil is forced past the piston rings.

Check the oil level with the dipstick, and check you have the right dipstick 
for your engine.
