Your problem is that you're using silicone oil.
First of all, it's not a great lubricant. In fact, it's pretty poor. We use it in airsoft guns mainly to keep o-rings and hop up rubbers moist, or for cleaning inner barrels - also, because we know it's neutral to the plastics and rubbers. Besides that, its actual lubricity is poor, and you're better off using a GREASE on moving parts, or a more viscous oil. Mainly because it doesn't sling around, but also for the following reason...
Secondly, silicone oil is poor as a lubricant, due to its high creep-ability. It creeps. That's why you see it all over the side of your gun after you've "lubed" it. The molecules don't hold together well in a 3D structure, and prefers to flatten itself out across the surface it touches. As a result, it spreads all over. Grease prevents the creeping.
