Lot of Oil Blow By

Hey Guys Im tottally stumped.
I havnt Driven my car in say a month And i noticed its was dripping a small amount of fluid so i jacked the car up looked under it and theres a lot of Blow by above my Oil filter. It seems to be coming from Around the exsaust manifold. Any Ideas suggestions Im really tight on cash so i cant rip apart my motor.
P.s its only coming from my driverside manifold and trailing back to the transmission

I would first say inspect your oil sending unit right above the filter, they can be known to leak oil right in that general area, and also look around your distributor to see if oil is escaping around the distributor shaft, you may be in need of a new distributor O-ring. Hope that helps.
