The oil is coming from the tube that runs from the valve cover to the
airbox. If you drive aggressively (cornering and high rpm) it becomes a
problem.  The best way to take care of this is to install an oil catch
tank, like this one:

http://www.nipponpower.com/accessories/catchcan/greddy_catchcan.html

It (according to the description) "collects the oil and moisture in the
blow-by gases that causes carbon and sludge build-up in the intake
system and the engine. It keeps the engine clean even under hard driving
conditions."  

If you're a cheapass, you could run the tube into an old 1 litre oil
container.

** Disclaimer **  You probably won't pass the visual emissions
inspection unless you use a tank that can be vented back into the
intake.

HTH,

Mark.
