Smoke from the dipstick hole

Smoke from the dipstick hole
What would cause smoke (oil burning smell) to come out of the dipstick hole? I have the Greddy turbo kit and because the manifold is touching the dipstick hole, it melted the rubber on the dipstick, causing it to not seal properly. The past two week, whenever i would drive on the freeway, smoke would just fill up the whole cabin and set out a whole trail of smoke. It was so bad that i had to get a tow to get my car home. I thought it was oil dripping onto the downpipe and smoking, but after looking under the car, that doesn't seem to be the problem. Today, i was watching the car idle and saw a hint of smoke coming from the dipstick hole. While revving it to about 4k rpm, smoke just bellowed out of that hole. What's causing this. Will over filling the oil do this. I was probably 3/4 of a quart over the full mark because of my faulty dipstick. Is this what usually happens when the oil level is too high. Any clues? How much smoke usually comes out from that hole? I'm not going to run a dipstick anymore, i plugged up that hole with a long screw.
