my 2001 ford focus is spitting oil through the dipstick and the valve cover into the air filter compartment

That is an indication or either excessive crankcase pressure due to blowby past the rings or insufficient PCV to draw the fumes out. I would start by replacing the PCV valve and making sure none of the vacuum lines are damaged.

The more you rev the engine, the more the pressure pushes the oil out.
