    All that oil is likely from the car being up side down. It could easily leak from the cam cover gasket into the spark plug recesses. And also being inverted, leak down through the open valves into the cylinders, and also down through the inlets into the turbos.
    Hopefully there's nothing wrong and just a good clean up needed.

    The scale of RUclips rebuilds especially British rebuilds is insane. Just a couple of years ago it was mainly putting a new exhaust on or new shocks, now it’s full on rebuilds from the tub onwards and even full engine rebuilds.

    Hi Chris, fair play for taking this on for a start, quite the project, the oil on the plugs is most likely from the cam cover gasket plug hole seals leaking oil, its common gor that type of set up, the plug hole just fills up with oil, so when you were taking the plugs out the oil in the plug hole goes into the cylinder, the oil in the intake system is another matter tho 😳 wow that a lot of oil, knackered turbo's it think, good luck mate..!

    A note on turbo "seals".
    Turbos don't technically have oil seals, they rely on a combination of gravity and spinning to direct the oil down the oil drain.
    If the oil drain gets blocked then the oil will back up and the direction it could go is a combination of out the exhaust, through the charge coolers and back into the exhaust manifold and into the engine when the valves are open.
    Now imagine if you turn the turbo upside down so the drain is pointing upwards....
    Or in other words your engine and charge cooler is full of oil because the car was upside down making the turbo drain system upside down.
    The engine turned over so hopefully it didn't run long enough to hydro lock.
