When your engine turns over, there is an oil pump inside the engine that is being driven by the crankshaft. It is creating pressure by pumping oil throughout the engine. Most will achieve around 40 to 50 lbs. If there is a problem with any of the lines or gaskets in the system, it will leak when there is pressure. Try to locate the leak by washing the area that's leaking and watch it as someone turns the engine over. Most leaks of this sort aren't too hard to fix.

Engine oil over fill where will it leak?
If you have over filled your engine oil, it will not "leak" unless you have completely filled the engine with oil and is pouring out where you put it in.

Oil pressure as measured by the guage on the dash is usually a measure of the pressure put out by the oil pump and not an indication of a leak or low engine oil level. If you have a leak your best indication of that will be puddles on the ground, on the underside of the engine or a milkiness looking color in the oil (as seen on the dipstick) or in the engine coolant.
