Burning tracks Might lower the oil level a pint ,see if it helps. If the crank is hitting oil can make more oil vapor than is needed that might slobber out a little. My 235 is well worn from real work hauling corn and leaks like territory marking but doesn't leak at the cap. Even the rear main that was disturbed when I turned in -.002 bearings doesn't leak exsessively never even thought about putting in a new bottom half. That one is probably an old asbestos braid one. Might look at that baffle inside the block where the roadraft pipe goes in it might be sludged up gotta take the pan off to get to it but can see it with the tube out. Held in there with screws that show on the outside I think.
