I had same problem of oil around the dip stick and engine side when the engine was first rebuilt. Use the black sock idea to keep oil from messing up everything. I understand it is ring blow by until the rings are "seated" in. Now I have about 2500 mile on it and have no problem-got rid of the black sock.
Yes it could be a green sock. But black tends to not show the oil as bad!
