NC 87 turbo oil leak

hey guys i just purchased a 87 turbo 2 that has some work done such as..half bridge port,single turbo t04s,supporting fuel mods and haltech standalone. the car was sitting for aprx 1 year not running due to not getting fuel. i found the ecu relay was bad and now it is running and driving. the previous owner had deleted the omp and is running premix. for some reason the previous owner was running a 40:1 premix ratio which seems like WAY too much oil as im used to using about 1oz per gallon on my other fc. i have since ran the gas out and put fresh gas at 1oz per gallon. obviously the car was smoking quite a bit with the premix ratio that was in it but im still getting a little much smoke and am noticing what appears that oil is leaking either from the lower intake manifold past the turbo manifold or from where the turbo manifold meets the block. is there anything you guys can think of or recommend?

Bad seals in the turbo? Anything in the exhaust? Or intake?
