Oil is more likely to be from somewhere else. A favourite is the oil
pressure switch, another is the engine top cover gasket. In your
original
thread you mentioned the dipstick. In a recent query on this group
someone
had a blocked engine breather which caused internal pressure and forced
oil
out of the dipstick hole.
