Default Anyone else seen this? Oil leaks out the filler cap

I've got an A4 2.0T Q MT6 and when I really get on it sometimes (like after driving in the mountains), I've noticed that a bit (up to a tbsp. ) of oil will seep out the top of the engine around the filler cap. It doesn't always happen, but it has me a bit worried.

the car only has 20k miles on it, and I've changed the oil at 10 and 20k with mobil 1 0w40. Dealer changed oil at 5 and 15k. The oil level is near the upper part of the XXX's but not on the max line.

Is this something I should worry about? How can I fix it? (other than driving like a granny). I'm looking into getting into autocross, so driving slow isn't always an option :-P.

Thanks In advance!

More then likely a bad PCV.. boost pressure filling the crank case blowing oil out the seal.
