More help needed,

My 65 Midget is still using or losing oil, after a drive there is a fine 
mist like coating of clean oil on the rear bumper and my oil level drops 
quite significantly.
Following my last request for help regarding overfilling the oil I 
straightened out the dip stick and it now touches the oil pan.
I no longer think I am overfilling the engine.
On Saturday I was out for a drive and a friend of mine following behind in 
his TR6 was a recipient of a fine oil mist coating on his windscreen.
There are some minor leaks when the car is parked but they are not 
excessive, and there is no leak from the oil filter housing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dave
