    Check the PCV circuit. Chances that blow-by is putting the fumes into the
    crankcase. Also check the EGR system. A leaking EGR (valve not closing off
    completely at idle) will cause these problems too. Don't know specifically
    about that engine but egr valves usually have to be cleaned when carbon
    builds up on the seat and the valve can't close.
