It could also be a leak in the valve cover gasket, although it would be unusual for it to fail suddenly like that.
I recently had my car in for a valve adjustment and asked that they replace the valve cover gaskets while they had them out. They did, but didn't seat the new gasket properly and it sprayed nearly a quart of oil all over the engine of my car.
