Default Smoky Air Filter

Hopefully some of you Techie types out there can help. I've got a 95 WRX import and if the car has been sat for a week or 2, after a drive out, white oily smelling smoke can be seen coming from the air filter assembly, this only lasts for a day or so then everything is back to normal?

Any ideas?

Cheers in advance.

Dave

Could be a leaking drivers side rocker cover gasket - oil drips down onto the hot exhaust. Smoke is seen coming from in between the side of the engine and the air filter box. Just a thought.
