Pop the hood & w/ flashlight, look around carefully. Even w/the engine running. Make sure you have enough oil in the pan!
Or
Need to ramp the car up & get underneath to determine where the oil is coming from

Take a pic or 2 & post up

That's not much power to push dip stick out. Are you getting serious blowby? Do you have a catch can installed or mods to vent the head?

Is that 400 whp on a mustang dyno? You may want to look into venting your catch can with a big check valve to help release the crankcase pressure.

Most Mustangs read a bit lower than Dynojets (approx 15% IIRC). He was trying to gauge your WHP
