Mine filled with oil vapour quite quickly due to internal damage the engine had sustained previously causing raised crank pressure. Give it all a good clean out, fit new foam (make your own out of akitchen foam scratchy thingy) and air filter,ride it and observe. Even if there is nothing particularly wrong with your engine, its an old engine so internal wear is to be expected but oil vapour doesn't give conclusive evidence that there is a problem that needs immediate attention. As has already been pointed out a combination of oil vapour and blue smoke would give more of an indication that there may be a problem.
