oil leaking

hey guys... most of you have seen pics of my truck... 87 4runner with the 22re.

had the timing chain done about 2 years ago and it has always leaked oil since then. about 3-4 drops every time you would drive it... I would guess about 3-4 quarter size. took it on a 4 hour or so drive (longest in a while but not the longest ever) and it now seems to be leaking more (like at least double that). I know the oil was over full as I put probably about 1/3 of a quart too much in there before I left on the trip.

can anyone think of why this is leaking more??? can anyone help with a solution that does not consist of taking off everything to change that gasket???

can you change that gasket without taking the head or oil pan off???

thanks guys!!!
