RE: engine oil
Oil all over the hood and engine is usually cause by a missing filler cap.... whatever it is should be VERY obvious to be able to splatter on the hood. Have you done a thorough inspection?

RE: engine oil
going on what Joel said, pop the hood and start the car. look for oil that is shooting out.

RE: engine oil
Also could possibly be the PCV valve. But yeah if it's splattered in an area startt he engine and look for the gushing splattering oil.
