Help!! hot oil shooting out car

Yeahh, right when I am about to finish my car, something has to go wrong. I was driving around on this nice day when my car started running like it was only running on one rotor and there was a faint amount of smoke but bareley. I pull over on the spot and open the hood. I find out that the hot *** oil is coming out of a little nosel that is attached to the part where you pour in the oil. But I couldn't see any coming out when it was at idle.
Why is there hot *** oil coming out of that nosel?
I cleaned all of the contacts and the car is still running bad, please tell me its like some kind of oil mgt. sys that just isn't working? If you need any more info id be glad to tell you oh yeah the oil pressure is still staying at around 60psi

Heres whats in it:
-20,000 miles on new 13b
-racing beat s/s header to customized 2 1/2"
going to dynomax 2 1/2" muffler
-Racing beat clutch
-Wings west bodykit
-15" x 7" Eagle polished aluminum rims w/ Potenzas
-Eibach Springs
-Tokiko Illumina 5 way adj shocks and struts
-Mazdatrix 4.444 rear end
-Webber 44 carb made for racing w/ a fabricated stop

oh is the 60 psi of oil pressure at idle? Or just while driving. Should be closer to 30 or 35 at idle.

too much oil equals too much oil pressure and it is kicking it up the only way it can go. the small protusion is a crankcase vent. do not add too much oil next time!!!!

if it is still squirting oil out of the tube after you drained some out, you are getting pressure from somewhere in yor system. where, i don't know. why i wouldn't begin to guess. i have never heard of this. sometimes i get a bit of steam coming from my tube. thats it.

80psi rear is low.

drain the oil, see ifi there's metal in there. be sure to pour a quart of oil or ATF into the motor after you drain it; that way it'll get sludge and metal particles out of the bottom of the pan.

check your oil filter for metal.

did the dip stick pop out? if so the side seals are bad and compression leaking out of them and into the crankcase.

Well I think that the oil thingie "got drunk tonight to forget so" any who that oil seal in the rear rotor is messed. I am just going to sell my 44 idf webber and intake manafold. Along with my racing beat stainless steel headers to straightpipe to 2.5 dynomax muffler. I found a guy with a turbo 2 engine and rotor, all I will have to do is get a computer and change the primary injectors with my first gens and I should be grand.. hopefully
