If the flywheel housing gasket between the housing and block is installed backwards, oil will leak badly from the end of the camshaft exactly as you describe. You can easily check this by looking at the starter side of the engine where the housing meets the block and see of you see a round portion of gasket sticking out....it you do see it, the gasket is in backwards.
