Hi, I've got a 2.25 diesel and I've started the engine after almost a year and oil was leaking out of the exhaust nuts so I took the manifolds off and I'm seeing sparks from cylinder 1, 2 and 3 what does this mean?

Explosions happening in the cylinders.
Manifolds back on and carry on.

Sounds like it needs an Italian service. Give it a thrash down the duel carriageway and burn all the crap out of it. An hour should sort it, if the oil lasts out
