Are you sure it’s not just blowing out the dipstick? Have a look with engine running - pull dipstick (watch out!) and see if oil sprays. See if undoing the oil filler improves it.
If so - blocked crankcase breather filter.

I agree with the above looks to be coming from dip stick tube, also I note your small belt as quite a few cracks in it, I would be changing that before it snaps, link below for the right belt

Ah, in that case, it’s not going to be easy to help you remotely. Have the engine running and look long and hard with a torch. Consider a UV leak detection dye. Are you sure it’s engine oil? What about PS pump? HP fuel pump?
Starting to think this is some thing else
Cleaned sump gasket and engine again
Took for run no leaks like yesterday
But I started it this morning and turned car round as needed put skid plate on.
Went under and seen drips and gasket soaked etc.
Could fuel pump pee out fuel on first start. I can't smell so can't work out if oil or could be diesel
But can't see no oil leaking. Been out for long drive. Checked see about 20 times and nothing

Leaking HP pump could be it - spray with brake cleaner, allow to dry, then start car and watch.
I cleaned engine.
Left it to dry took for long run and nothing
Will check it in morning before I start it.
If nothing will start and see if it leake.

I bought a refurb and changed it myself, took the best part of a day.
But it's pretty easy to do.Need a special tool to hold pump sprocket inplace while changing the pump, but pretty straight forward.
I have the tool if you need one

This is the tool you will need below, to hold the sprocket also best to remove the manifold, and the starter motor, you may also have to raise the engine a little to clear the side of the chassis to insert the tool, you will need 17mm Allen key to remove the main cap for the tool to fit as well,
