83 smoking

First of all-you guys are great.
So a recap. did a bunch of work about 6 years ago (suspension and stuff) and then life got in the way. Then about a year or so ago I got started on it again. Got it started but wouldn't run off the primaries. So a year long carb rebuild later, it runs, and runs strong. I had been MMO-ing down the intake and turning it over during the months previously to it starting up. Boy did it smoke. Then, it stopped smoking. It ran well. Took it around the block (no tags or insurance so not much on the road).
Its been idling around 2k so I know I got a pretty good vacuum leak. I've run through about 2gal of gas (premixed with idetsu (or whatever) rotary oil trying to track down the leak two or so times a week. But that's not my issue.
Yesterday I started it up and warmed it up and gave it some gas. Damn thing is smoking now.
So did I blow out an oil seal or something? and if so, what to do?
Sorry for all the words.
