maybe the oil breather is clogged and spills oil from the dipstick, or evene the oil breather got loose with engine pressure.

oil out of the dipstick is sometimes due to blocked breather - or blocked hose coming from it (or too small diameter)

also the paper crank seal goes too as well as the round oil seal ont he crank.

are you running boost return mod - is oil from your throttle body?

Nope! That won't be doing the contacts in there any good. I'd clean it all out and then check continuity on full throttle over the ECU pins (Haynes has the pin out for this)
