Pushrod tubes on the 914 are called 'oil return tubes' on other Porsche/VW engines of the same basic design. You tilted your car so extremely that the oil sump drained out the tubes into the valve covers. Probably should not have leaked though if all the gaskets were intact and well seated. You have valve cover gaskets installed right? I usually hang out on the 914world.com site, post any tech questions there and you will get lots of help.

I would find a different way to elevate your car, it sounds unsafe as well as lets the engine oil run out.
