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.
