oil leak

[2darts]

I'm starting my 440 for the first time and I noticed oil under the car, I started it again and saw oil coming out of the dip stick tube where it goes into the block. what can I do and why is it doing that. thanks

Make sure your PCV valve and hose are clear and working. Also, you have a breather in one of the valve covers, right? Excess pressure in the engine will force oil out thru the dipstick tube and can blow out you pan gasket seals... post a pic of your engine.
