Why is oil coming out of these?

As soon as I got home yesterday, I plugged my oil sending unit off. Guess what. No more leak! The way the oil was hitting the little plug in the intake made it appear as if it was gushing oil out of there. I just wanted to be honest at the expense of my dignity and tell everyone they were right and I'm not too bright sometimes. Thanks to everyone who took the time to help me here!

Don't worry about it. - Not too many of us here with much dignity anyway. LOL. I'm sure I can out-bonehead you on stuff most days of the week.
