It wont be engine oil it will be "heavy ends" which is the oil that is produced when the liquid is converted to vapour, this is normal but if found to be excessive it may be down to poor quality gas or the vaporiser is getting to hot, this can be cured by fitting an inline thermostat to the coolant lines which go to the vaporiser.

Fact of the week
In the 13th century, the word "nice" had a negative connotation, meaning "ignorant" or "foolish". It is thought that the word gradually obtained a positive meaning in the English language where it was often used to refer to a person who was ludicrously over-dressed. The term was confused with a reference to something refined or someone who was "nicely" dressed.
