Okay, Im going to try and help:)

Okay replace the dipstick! The dipstick should NOT be poping out under any driving!
After that get some engine cleaner and clean the whole engine bay! Start the car and try to see if you can locate where the oil is coming from
Keep tuners updated!!
 
definately replace the dipstick and clean the motor. dont drive it hard and see if you can see oil leaking from anywhere. what can cause this massive oil burst is high pressure inside the block, therefore pushing the dipstick out and squirting everywhere. so a compression check is something you want to do also. blowby sucks


damn oldman beat me to it.. right as i was posting
