oil found by oil dip stick on side of motor?

Hello, is it possible the oil change that was performed was "messy" - meaning, oil was splashed upon adding to the engine causing it to get onto hot engine parts? This is one thought. A dipstick o-ring or other leak at a related component is another thought. Hands on evaluation is needed to see first hand what is going on; theory and guesses can't help much.
