I have a Limit Eng TA 49, have had it for 3 years. Love it, but its been sitting for 3 months while the motor was getting rebuilt. I am getting some smoke at idle occasionally, but it smells like burnt oil and i found some oil in the inlet pipe. Could the seal have gone bad in that time?

I highly doubt the seals would go bad in that time. My car gets stored for 6 months during winter. I doubt that would cause it to go bad.

Do you have a breather on the passenger side valve cover, or is the tube still connected to the inlet bell of the turbo?
 
I do have a breather on the passenger side valve cover. I called Limit Eng and they said that it was all the break in material from the new engine that has caused the problem, they said they see it all the time.
