When I get on my car and rev it above 4K rpm it always leaks oil from somewhere I'm thinking its the bottom of the dipstick?

Does this sound right? If so how do I fix it?

have you checked it while sitting in the driveway to see if its leaking from the bottom. also does your gauge drop or light come on. if its an oil leak there should be some oil somewhere.

Well there is smoke and it smells like burning oil lol at first I thought it was a leaking valve cover but a friend of my has a V8 s10 and when he dogs it oil comes out the dipstick too

Have you checked the back of the manifold? I mean if it only happens while your reving up...

Is the oil dripping on the exhaust smoking or is it blue smoke?

You should clean your engine then find your leak searching the top down instead of assuming where its from

The oil gets on the exhaust and starts smoking

i agree with cleaning it 1st. one place to check 1st is the pcv.

If it's coming out the dipstick, that usually means excess pressure in the crank case. Too much blow by, caused by worn rings. Check your PCV system.

I know this flies in the face of common wisdome, but you might try and improve ring seal with some Restore oil additive. I know, I know, "it's all snake oil". But I'v used it on old engines to get me through until I can overhaul them. It worked. Not a miracle, but it did help.
