After I changed the oil (there is no filter) I drove it around the block to make sure everything was alright, I did not notice any leaks. It sat for a few hours then I went to check the oil level and it was normal. After two longer trips I noticed it was low (.5 quart after the first trip, 1 quart after the second). I have not noticed any leaking or any puddles.
It does smoke, but I have read these things do burn oil so I though it was normal. The amount of smoke is similar to what Denny Described.
As far as the shop goes, my cousin restores pre-80 Corvettes and gave me the name of the place he sends all his engines to. My main question was in regards to is this something I can learn to do (with a manual) or should I skip the learning curve and send it to the shop?
