What do you mean its "spitting" oil? Is the dipstick not seating correctly? Is it damaged? Are you sure you dont have too much oil? Pictures might help.

I changed your title because "help" says nothing about your issue and deters interest. Always use a short yet relevant title.

Could be the seal around the dipstick, or, something is clogged up somewhere and the system can't vent properly... like a PCV valve. If pressure builds up, it's going to release via the least path of resistance, aka through the dip stick.

These are details that should've been stated in your opening post. Is there any other pertinent info you haven't shared?

I looked a little closer and it looks like the wall is leaking
Unless you engine was built in the Amityville house, I believe you're referring to the head gasket leaking.

Being that you have yet to answer any of my previous questions, are you sure the oil isnt leaking from elsewhere, such as the right side of the valve cover, and dripping down that way? Wipe off all the oil drippage then reinspect everything after a drive or two and try to identify the leak source.
