Oil in exhaust and intake

Just did an oil change a couple weeks ago and now I have oil dripping out of my exhaust and my blow off valve. Is this a symptom of overfilling the oil which I may have done or is this the failure of the seals in the bushing on the turbo car has been sitting not being driven for a couple months the car smoked a little last time I drove it but not like this.

Took it out for a 20 mile drive after I drained a quart of oil out of it, started out fogging for mosquitoes by the end of the drive it only smoked when I blipped the throttle so I hope that is encouraging

Remember to only check oil level when the car is fully warmed up, with it running, while the car is parked on level ground. My car’s oil level gauge only moves off the bottom when the car is fully warmed up and I come to stop and it’s at idle for a moment. Those gauges are notoriously inaccurate but mine tells me that much…

Could be overfilled.

Mine also did it when I had a pinhole leak in the oil scavenge pump line, causing my turbo to lose suction, oil to accumulate in the housing, and would back up into the exhaust.

I did drain a quart or so out of it and I think it is getting better but I am dealing with a failed ignition switch so I will have to wait but I got some sea foam today so I will start cleaning the oil out of the motor and then pull a plug to see how fouled they are when I get it running again.
