If the cylinder compression is now back to spec or close enough on all cylinders, then blow-by of oil through the piston rings does not appear to be a likely cause. If it were, you would probably be seeing oil smoke coming out of the exhaust. Are you?

I don't know if the seal was that way before the hose came off but it was not leaking oil from the dipstick tube before. There is some oil smoke coming out the exhaust but the same amount was puffing out prior to the hose coming off.
Thanks for checking on your Camry, Allen. I agree I don't want to mask another problem. I plan to check the EGR and replace the dipstick and PCV as Brian mentioned and then go from there. The oil is full but not over the full line.
