Default Oil Leakage

I recently built a stroker motor and put it on my 04 GTO which has an STS kit. i'm running the GT 67. well I was driving around, and babying it for the break in time and oil, lots of oil started spitting out my exhaust. the cart had been sitting for a few months and I'm thinking that my turbo seals dry rotted. When the oil comes out, its worked, like a little milky (its not contaminated with water, just worked oil). Could the leaking be caused by something that I'm not thinking of??? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the machine shop installed the 007 mod without you knowing...lol.

Nah man I'm just kidding, it sounds like you may a have a good hunch going with the seals. How long and where was it sitting? Was it exposed to the elements? Outside covered or inside somewhere in a garage that was kinda climate controlled?

Have you taken the turbo off to check it yet?

Edit: Realized he has a rear mount
