Unfortunatley I have not had a chance to change the oil yet, I will try tomarrow. When I refil it, i will be careful to watch the level.

Rick, Did you correct the problem by correcting the oil level?

I checked my oil level ... it is high. I must have added to much last time I changed the oil. It looks like I added an extra quart. I will check the air filter tomarrow for signs of oil.

Chris , As Herb indicated you may have too much oil in the crankcase and it is coming up through the oil vapor seperator and getting into the air filter box when you bank the car on a turn. Check your oil within 3 minutes after you turn the engine off after a run and engine temps. have been reached.

I would first check to see if there is any oil accumulated in the air filter that could be getting into the intake when turning. If that is not the case and the crankcase is not overfilled I would suspect leaking valve seals.
