windsor,
So Im looking at the engine today first thing I check is the dip stick for some reason, it says there was a very large amount of oil in the engine, way above the full line.

Second under the spark plug cover there was a lot of oil just sitting there, wheres all this oil coming from, blown headgasket ?

How would it get up there ?
 
You most likely need a new oil cap gasket. If the spark plug hole seals (aka valve cover gasket) were leaking, they would leak into the plug wells where you thread in the spark plugs.

You may also have a cracked valve cover.

Be sure to get the right amount of oil in the engine.
 
I know i collect oil in the spark plug valley because there is a tiny tiny crack in my valve cover so that could be your issue if not then it would be the gaskets like the others have already said
