With some decent weather over the last few days I took the opportunity to check and reset the timing and valve clearances on the engine. The car ran very well for the first few miles, better in fact than ever. After a few miles I could smell oil; it turned out to be a split in the oil dip stick rubber bellows and oil was coming out in minute quantities and dripping on to the exhaust - easily solved with a new rubber boot.
On the way back after identying the oil leak it was running a little lumpy so may need to check the carb settings next.
