Oil leak behind the cam

You see those horizontal "tubes" going off to the oil filter? and you see the vertical one that they intersect? In the space on the vertical, and between the two horizontals; is where the cup plug goes.
If the plug gets left out, the oil doesn't get filtered.
If a second plug is installed, it will very nearly block the passage. It will probably read normal at idle, but as the revs increase there will be insufficient oil delivery.
As the contractor, foreman, and lead hand , of the project, it is on you to make sure it gets assembled right. Unless your father assembled it, trust no one; especially not your machine shop cuz they already IMO, screwed up by not replacing the plug that they took out.
