You fix by replacing the element at the recommended interval. Also make sure you never overfill the crankcase with motor oil. Check the dipstick. IF higher than the operating range, drain or extract some oil.

I assume you have an OEM oil dipstick. Verify by a VW/Audi logo on the handle.

Some motor oil will inevitably get blown into the air filter box & element over time.

Crank ventilation can effect oil in the air intake sector as well.
