I don't have the manual here and I don't know what year your MG is, but
the oil comes out of the dispstick opening because your crankcase is
under a greater than atmospheric pressure. That means that there is something
wrong with the system of hoses that allow air to be sucked out of the
crankcase. The exact configuration of this system depends on the year of
your car. My first guess is that you have a plugged hose somewhere.
Of course, your rings may be bad too, but hopefully unplugging the hose
will relieve the crankcase pressure.
