Your PCV oil separator is most likely clogged. You'll need to clean it or get a new one since they break easily. A good idea would be to pull the IAC and give it a good cleaning as well.

The oil separator is in the passenger side valve cover, can't miss it

Twix is probably right, above.

...but check your oil level, anyway. Overfilled oil can come out in bizarre places.

*And no matter where the oil came from, it's now time to clean your MAF with MAF spray.
