Default 2014 wet head using oil

My '14 Limited has started to use some oil and has no apparent leaks.
On deceleration getting off express way I am smelling oil and have noticed some blow by.All of this just started after getting stuck in traffic twice both on above 90 degree days.
Anyone else have this problem yet??
Bike just turned 1 year and has 15,500 miles on it.
Any suggestions?

I would take it back to the dealer and have them look at it. 90 degree weather isn't going to hurt it. I can't wait for the temp to get back down in the low 90's

Check your primary oil level. If the crank seal is bad it will seep over and fill up the primary case.
