I think it was jut going forwards because I was lifting the car up to get at the flywheel to get it out of tdc but would this problem cause a leak like I described??
That looks like quit a bit of oil, but find it hard to believe that the case would be cracked. the GRP has a thick looking case. If you are running it rich still. it could be coming from your exhaust seals. Either from the rear, or from the joint where the header and pipe meet. Clean it good, run it for a minute, and check it. Its easier to track, if you check it right away.

Is this normal or anyone else experienced this. I ended up idling the engine for at least 5 mins before I ever touched the needles.
Yeah, dont try to tune these when they are cold. Drive it a bit, get it up to temp, and then make your adjustments. With my GRP, I make most my adjustments in 1/2 hr increments, once im in the zone. They seem very sensitive to adjustment.
