If oil is everywhere has the oil filler cap come off? or the oil filler pipe (the bit that the cap screws on to) its that not sealing properly?
Is it engine oil?

Have you checked in your spark plug wells for oil? Incase Cam Cover Gaskets have given up....
Although I cant see why oil would get splattered everywhere :-?

No it will be the cam cover gaskets leaking onto the manifolds.....clean the breathers also.
