A perturbation technique is used to compute the rotational corrections to the nonradial oscillation spectrum of a realistic neutron star model. The l = l(0) oscillations are coupled to l = l(0) + or - 1 oscillations by the Coriolis force. To calculate the rotational corrections to the quadrupole, l(0) = 2, oscillation modes, previous calculations of the nonradial oscillation spectrum of this neutron star model are extended to include l(0) = 1 and l(0) = 3 modes, as well as many higher overtones at each value of l(o). As an example of this technique, the rotational corrections to two quadrupole toroidal modes are computed. For these modes the coupling to the spheroidal class of oscillations produced by the Coriolis force introduces a nonzero radial component to the velocity field, as well as a nonvanishing Lagrangian density perturbation. This result is used to compute the neutrino damping rates for these toroidal modes of a rotating neutron star. The neutrino damping time can approach the gravitational radiation damping time in rotating neutron stars if the central temperature is high enough. The rotationally induced coupling of spheroidal oscillations to toroidal modes can also produce significant displacements at the stellar surface in some of the toroidal modes. The damping rates due to this process for the rotationally corrected toroidal modes are estimated. The coupling of surface motions to the toroidal modes also have interesting implications for channeling energy, e.g., that associated with a glitch in the crust, to the surface of the star. Perhaps this might produce observable effects in the pulsar emission process or a gamma-ray burst event.
