I decided to fire up the pirate ship today and got it started. I just let it idle for a few minutes and then noticed oil pooling up under the exhaust on the right side. Any ideas? Been sitting for awhile.

I also have this problem with my race car. I can stop it from happening by elevating the rear of the car during storage (jackstands, or rolling the rear tires up on blocks of wood).
Now that you've got the problem, you can do like JP recommends and turn over the motor for 30-45 seconds to get the oil out of the sump. But you'll still have some oil in the cylinders. The only way to get rid of that at this point is start 'er up and let it blow out the exhaust. Good idea to clean the muffler. Maybe remove it while the oil is blowing out the exhaust (if you do this, do yourself a favor and put something you don't care about behind the car to catch all the oil coming out of the exhaust - you'd be surprised how far it goes).
