Oil on the baffles in the valve covers may be related to a high volume
oil pump If the the counter weights or any part of the crank are dipping into the
oil in the pan you can test for that. Run the engine with low revs for a minute or two and then turn it off. Check the dip stick. If the crank is hitting the oil you should see small air bubbles in the oil on the dipstick. You could also check the oil after driving the car. With a longer run period and higher revs you should minimally see air bubbles in the oil and it may also look a little white or cream colored because your crank is trying to turn the oil into whipped cream.
If you are seeing signs that the crank is whipping up the oil, do not run the engine anymore until you have lowered the oil level. If the oil looks creamy I would replace it and the oil filter and start over.
