The Ford Barn

Hi

My recently imported '36 pickup is smoking from the oil breather/filler cap? No smoke from exhaust and no nasty noises.

This was a barn find and had not been run for many years. I have only put around a 100 miles since I have owned it.

What should I check first? I have used Penrite Shelsey 30 Light engine Oil suited to vintage and classic cars originally designed to use straight 30 weight oil, is that ok?

Any advice much appreciated, this is my first flathead so learning all the time!

Thanks
