This used to happen in my buddies DSM G1. He had bad rings and there was a lot of blowby.

if its under warranty. take it to the dealer.

either a oil cap that isn't fitting too well or really bad rings.

check for smoke coming out the exhaust(if its rings).

The car has 6k miles on it it better not have bad rings . What i think it may be is when i checked the oild after changing it some dripped on the valve cover and it just spread out with the heat.

very possible, i've been known to do that. the older b-series' valve covers are a pin to clean up.
