Ok the car did sit for 2 years with really old oil in it and i changed the oil. I think i have a little oil leak. And after only going 71 miles so far my oil is black. Think i should change it again and see if it still is as bad?
 
i would definitly do a couple quick oil changes..do one now then another in about 500 miles. oil is cheap enough.

Yes. Do another one. The oil that was sitting in there was old, and it broke down and left sludge and grime in places. Do a change, run it and check it every now and again. Turns black, change it. And keep doing this until it doesn't anymore.

Indeed, oil is cheaper then a new motor and turbo.
