I don't see fording valves in your pictures (Due to the angles they are taken from) So I wasn't going to hazard the guess if you had them. They aren't stock items. Fording valves closed will cause higher than atmospheric crankcase pressure. That is how they keep the water out. That much oil in that short of time seems way beyond what you could do with just a fording valve issue. Now if there are stuck and horribly leaky rings adding to it.....
You do see the problem with your spark plug wire on the rear plug in your picture? You might want to remedy that while you are at it.
The oil at the rear of the exhaust will likely be from the breather port just under the exhaust. The oil from the pump area from the valve chest covers. To be blowing out from the fill tube/dipstick means dead or missing gaskets. The only way I can figure the spark plug wells would be the plugs are not tight in the head or the gaskets are missing/damaged. As dirty as that oil is, we would see traces of it covering the head if was puked out of the fill tube.
And your comment that it was running poorly and sooty speaks of a carb issue that MAY be the cause of the fuel in your oil and not the fuel pump. It the float is too high or stuck open. fuel will pour into the intake manifold and then into the block. But, I don't know how it would ever start that rich.
