Clean the oil off your engine first., then restart and run the car for a few miles. It may be that you only have valve cover gasket leakage?. or as fairly typical on s/b Fords a rear intake manifold leak that can flow oil all over the rear of the heads.

I'm no expert for darn sure but on every engine I've dealt with that leaked oil from the top-end 8 out of 10 times is was either the valve cover gaskets or the intake manifold gaskets.
Usually if I encountered a head gasket leak I ended up with coolant in my oil.
Not good
