sounds like your oil seals are shot..i'd be careful driving it like this..i know you said its been sitting for awhile but if you do drive it keep an eye on the oil level..definately dont want to starve your engine of that or you'll be in biiig trouble

Dude dont worry about it..... this happened to mine too. It tends to just run in there when the engine is sitting. I thought my turbo was blown too so I bought a new one and come to find out, it was coming from the valve cover (no oil catch can). Dont rush out and buy a new turbo yet. Check the shaft play, and make sure it spins freely. If so, just make sure all the lines are tight on it and hook it up. Im sure its fine.
