Confirm your year/engine. I moved your post for better responses.

Oil leaking from dipstick could be result of excess oil level or blocked PCV.

good luck

It could also be coming from a leaking valve cover and running down the side and just pooling there. With the age of these cars, anything is possible.

Until we know what kind of car you have, the model year, and what engine is in it, there really isn't any help we can offer.
