I wouldn't bother with an oil analysis, not for this issue.
Has PCV6 been performed? It's a little late now, but maybe not TOO late.
Dipstick gasket and hoses, as others have suggested would be good places to look.
What is your normal trip schedule? Is the engine typically given time to fully warm up for at least 15 minutes before shutting off, or are you doing primarily short runs? [Edit: I mean is the car driven another 15 minutes after reaching operating temperature]. What type of winter temperatures are you now seeing?
Is it possible that the engine is running cold, i.e., a bad thermostat?
