Help! Need advice: engine smoking Options

[giuliettashop]

I inherited this car from my uncle a year and a half ago. Have driven it very sparingly since the initial round of servicing to get it on the road. Maybe 100 miles total.

Went out to drive it last month and it now suddenly smokes a lot. I can't really tell if it's accumulated oil in/on exhaust system (yes, it leaks a bit) or something else. If I engine brake on a hill it doesn't make it worse. Crank case is not overfilled with oil (actually a bit low). Engine fires right up and is not down on power at all, so I don't think anything catastrophic has happened. Stuck ring? Does this happen all the sudden after being used after a 10+ year dormancy?

Is there a guru/mechanic in Oakland I could take this to for diagnosis? Someone who would be able to fix it without selling me a full rebuild?

I was thinking of selling it since I haven't used it much and I had to put it on the street a few months ago, but now it seems like I ought to get this dealt with first, or at least have clarity on what's going on.

Thanks for reading...
