Default Oil leak (dipstick)?

I've got a pretty bad one. I haven't been under the car yet but do you guys think it's possible that I didn't get the dipstick in far enough after I installed my LT's? If so, How can you you tell when it's all the way in? The bracket lines up with the bolt hole in the head. This car didn't leak a drop until the LT's were on and I didn't notice it leaking until after it got driven.

I doubt it bc when i stailed mine i didnt get it all the way in "about inch above bolt hole. Then a week later i fixed it and didnt leak a drop in the mean time. There should have been a lil rubber o ring on the dip stick tube was that on there during the instail? Do you have your dip stick bolted in?
Get the car up in the air a lil bit and take a look on where its coming from.

It's fixed, It was the dipstick tube. I also got #8 plug and wire changed while I was down there
