Default oil leak

make sure its leaking from the same place,if not check your distributor gasket,they tend to leak from there too,also like the other guy said check the dipstick,if its your dipstick,pull it out carefully and put som silicone around the top where it seat's and put it back in place,hope i could be off any help.

the reason oil will come out of the dipstick is crank case pressure is not being drawn out when driving by the large hose at the front of valve cover
