What do you mean trimming your signature?

MB's right, and the more i think about the more its been overfilled.

If i were you, i think i'd called it a day, wait till it cools down and drain some if you have the tools, you could undue the filter but oil will be everywhere and it will be red hot.

I mean removing a badge in my signature, fed up now. Just did another session, seems to be two corners that cause it although smaller this time.

If you can get the car jacked up and crack a touch of oil from the drain bolt, that will do it. Clearly it will be hot, and don't overtighten that bolt either.

I remember quite a few S2000s used to do this on a particular corner - may have been Copice at Donington but my memory is very hazy.

You can drain it from the sump bolt from the top if you're careful to 1. not drop the plug and 2. not burn yourself on the exhaust and then 3. drop the plug anyway.

My guess it's oil slop with a bit too much oil and getting sucked into the PCV system although i thought they changed the PCV design on the facelift cars to prevent exactly this.
