smoke coming out of the oil filler tube breather?

Hey guys today my car started running like crap. I disconnected the hose on the bottom of the oil filler tube which connects to a hardline going to the charcoal canister. Anyways, when I rev it I see smoke coming out of this nipple and the nipple right on top which use to be connected to the stock carb. I dont this is normal? Is my motor shot? Its running real rough.

Thanks, Ed

I just had the same thing happin, The cause was flat oil seals. There was smoke coming out of the dip stick tube. We think it was from running to lean.

Time for a rebuild
