You were talking about losing 4 liters of motor oil and I don't even think it's possible because of a leaky valve cover gasket. It's just a huge amount of oil!!!!
Dont drive the car until you fully clean the engine to figure it all out.
The total oil capacity is 7liters and if you lost 4 you are in some deeper trouble.
Any chance you replaced a motor mount at your timing belt job and lifted/supported engine by jacking oil pan (and maybe cracked that)??
We have no idea until you confirm :
-what exactly happened
-where the source of the leak is.
-how much oil is gone
-is it really still leaking?
UNCLEAR TO ME what do you see when you pull out the dipstick to wipe it then insert it again and pull it out again?
Try to see if the bottom of the dipstick *tube* is wobbly a bit. There's an o ring in there too that fails over time. Every d24 i had, needed it changed. But it wont make you lose 4liters of oil SO QUICKLY.
Fully clean the motor to start with.
Another question, again, are you totally sure that it IS in fact motor oil?
