Default another oil leak problem

Has anybody have oil spraying out the oil dip stick with the engine running? Mine is doing it at a fast idle and going down the road it gets worst. It is full to the F on the stick. Thought to remove the oil filler cap and it still does it. Its a rebuilt engine and there is no blow by. Any ideas, maybe lower the oil by say half a quart?

Many of the oil filler pipes have had the baffles bent to allow oil to flow into the engine faster. Some are bent so that you can look straight through them. They will spray oil out when that is done. Bend them back to proper position or get a new/better pipe.

Here is a thread about the same issue. Turns out, the dipstick was the issue. Maybe the same with yours?

Are you putting the short prong on the dip stick handle in the hole also? Someone posted not too long ago with the same issue and he was not inserting the prong in the hole and had similar results.
