"Sometimes if idling for a long time, using a thin oil, and the hose fom tank to engine is longer than needed this may happend. It might be a small airleak in the hose,or other connection that seeps in air. Try to shorten the oil hose if possible and check all connections on the oil line. Check the double plastic connector (fuel and oil) where the oil hoose is connected to the engine. Have seen them crack from time to time."
