Answer
drain out all the oil into a clean pan and slowly put oil in untill either you have the recomended amount of quarts or the dipstick reads full.  if the problem is still existant my quess would be the valvetrain vent is clogged, however the fact that it came out the diptick says the crankcase pressure is too high and that is caused by a clogged crankcase vent tube, chances are both will not be high at the same time so if they are, high oil readings on the dipstick and oil spewing out everywhere imply too much oil.
don't ever drive your car with too much oil, the valves are at serious risk for burning up.
