Here is what to check
oil sender leaking
dizzzy o-ring
oil cap gasket bad
front crank seal
check the breather hose going to the air box and see if the air filter is covered in oil
I really dont think its the valve cover there is not enough pressure there to cause it to spray IMO
could be oil pan gasket but I don't think it would jump that high.. again not enough pressure there

EXACTLY... the rear main leaks only under pressure (like driving and normally not much when idling) however I don't know on JEEPS but on most cars its not easy to get alot of oil to get on the engine bay

Ok, well my rear main and oil pain gasket are leaking some, but not very much, I don't think they are leaking enough to be covering my engine bay with oil. I have already replaced the sending unit. But I did notice yesterday after I cleaned everything off again that my dizzy seemes to be collecting oil around the o-ring, so my plan for now is to replace that and hope for the best.
