Default oil leaking in 350 v8

Alright I'm a n00b on this forum, but not to cars. anyways, I have oil leaking on my crate 350 and it looks like its coming from the 4/6 cylinder area below the exhaust ports. the head is dry, but it spits out when its running...its not a solid drip so I cant really trace it back to the source. I think it's the head gasket, but I have a tough time believing that since it is a new crate motor with less than 250 miles on it. is there anywhere else it could be coming from or is my initial thought/fear correct? I finally got all the other issues worked out with the truck and this is starting to really tick me off...any help would be awesome! TIA

ok, so no response, but anyways, after further investigation I think I have found the actual culprit...the passenger side dip stick hole had a cap on it from the factory, but I don't see it anymore...where can I find a cap for that?
