Yeh the stem seals could well be hard that would make sence. But it does not seem to burn much when driving. Only on the over-run. Im not sure if the turbo would wear just sitting for a long period of time. Defonatly the stem seal will not be tip top.

As for leaks. The cam seal are still leaking/weeping. A very very small amount.

The Rear main oil seal is also leaking but again not alot. Does not drip when the engine is running.

Everywhere else is completly dry.

But for the above leaks im sure they have been caused by the car not being uised for so long.

Whats your oil consumption tabetha? With normall driving?
