That is really odd. The seals may be stuck and the chances of them getting un stuck are not that good you may want to try seafoam too. Sorry but looks like a rebuild is in your future. Hopefully everything is like new inside but hopefully a stuck seal did not harm anything and your rebuild will be cheap and i would definitly port it.

seafoam is really supposed to be used while running so thats kinda the problem. but it seems just from sitting for 2 years no rotation it has 1 stuck seal in the real and 2 in the front, weather from dried out assembly lube or flattend seals. i dont see any internals being damaged from this but stranger things have happened. and honestly after a few days if its not good to go a last ditch effert would be to tow it down the street and pop the clutch in second....not really what i want to do especially if the springs are flattend.

I would try pop starting it but i would not reccommend it to someone else that might hurt it but cant say for sure and it is your car. The seafoam i am talking about is the spray it's kinda like wd40. But like i said you will most likely need a rebuild which sucks but you chance for porting and big hp just opended up.
