Yes. Pods don't prevent gas getting into the oil.

Would sniff test crankcase oil and inspect physical quality of the oil.

Smoke from breather may be from combustion chamber blow-by. If not already done, a compression test may be instructive. A leak-down test would be even better.

Good Luck! :)

A leaking petcock can fill the crankcase with gas.
