How much oil? The rotor oil control rings are probally shot, unless someone put somehting in the carb/motor to increase compression. Or to allow it to set for some time without running... Purge it really good with gas and see if the oil stops coming outta the holes. If it does and has decent compression you might get some miles outta it. If oil is coming out of it all the time then a rebuild will be neccessary, unless you like perpetual oil changes and smoking like a coal burning freight train

If the seals were so damn shot, then the oil would drain back down to the pan.
No?
If it's filled w/oil and you flush it w/ fuel, be prepared for a fire at the exhaust side of the engine when it starts.

Common sense would tell you to wash the bay down really well with water and degreaser before ever attempting to start and run it with raw fuel on there.. Im sorry I left common sense stuff of the topic
