Maybe you over filled the oil? But I don't know

This could be a chin raising problem tbh.

Could be something called "blow by" (I'm not a doctor of engineering so correct me if I'm wrong) this happens when the piston rings are fucked and are allowing the combusting gases to seep past them and into the lower part of the engine. This of course creates a pressure forcing the oil out of the dipstick holder tube thingy.

But I'm no pro mechanic, but thats what I'd say it was.

Check the crank case and cam cover breathers, if these are obstructed the oil fumes / vapour will fin the next easiest way out.
If they're okay then worst case scenario is the post above, worn ringss.

Check the breather system is not blocked aswell.
