Put a plastic bag over the dipstick and drive it. That will tell if that is it or not.

could be the front cover gasket also ..... or the o-ring on the IP ...

Try cleaning the engine off .... stand on breaks with hood open and power break it ..... see if it starts to make a trail ... the wind could be just blowing it everywhere .... happens all the time on our buses with detroits.... keep me posted ... interested in what u find
