The Ford Barn

Sorry if this question has been asked before. I am experiencing white smoke from my oil filler tube. While driving, the vehicle doesn't smoke out the rear exhaust unless I'm accelerating up a hill. I've also noticed that I am using a tad more water from the radiator than usual. Any ideas what this might possibly be? I'm thinking (and hoping) it's only a head gasket issue. I've got 28 years of receipts from the PO, but the only mechanical thing done to the engine was a carb rebuild (and about $15,000 worth of body work, so the car looks PERFECT). I want to have this car running as well as it looks. Thoughts?
