pvc valve or valve seals . Was the car cold when it was started? or was it warmed up before you got there?
If you are in the cold part of the USA then its very easy to have seals go bad over 11 years with 51k miles. Hot then very cold then hot then cold then 11 years.
Beware if the car is warm every time you go look at it. Make sure it is the first start of the day
