No worries on the oil. It's an EVO thing. Just put a catch pan under the old girl and replenish it when you get her to start.
The starting issue is another thing......

New plugs, charge the battery, drain the gas from the carby and make sure fresh stuff is in there.....should be good to go then.

It is common for case breathers to spit out some oil when you let them sit too long.
It's your own damn fault for not riding it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evos don't like to sit around, that's a fact. Mine runs its best when it's ridden daily.
