This may not be happening for you, but oil can leak from the oil filler cap, collect in the valve cover, and then leak out the drain hole.
Check under the spark plug cover (if you have one), see if that area is oily. You may have a leaky oil fill cap. There is a gasket on it that can be replaced.
Hope this sheds some light...
