You need to identify if its oil burning. Over fuelling is usually black smoke not blue and generally its lumpy from the rich running. White smoke can be brake fluid coming in via the servo pipe or water vapour from coolant loss.
Assuming you have oil pressure and no noises I would at least run it hot to see if it clears.

If you are able to, do a compression test on all cylinders.
Just for peace of mind really.
Then go from there.

Can you take a video of the car on start-up?
The car idle for months won’t help either. No movement/warming up of linkages etc could be contributing.Do the simple checks on plugs/leads/choke/carb/fresh fuel as a first step. If no nasty noises get the car up to temp. Short run to loosen it up. If OK then Italian tune up? Do it in stages for your peace of mind.
It is easy to bypass the small simple checks and worry about major problems instead. Eliminate the simple and easy ones first.
