i would say hole or crack in the block personally, oil light coming on leads to lack of oil pressure.

i cant see that much leaking out the rocker cover

This makes more sense. Hole in the block was the first thing that came to my mind as well!
My rocker was constantly leaking and loosing hardly any oil

Headgasket.

Causing pressure in the oilways thus blowing the dipstick out.

Happened to my old 1400 8valver

If when you say "oil light" you mean the red oil pressure light of doom then I'd say its probably fuckered
