You are more likely to see exhaust condensation as the weather cools. Don't mistake something that is normal for something wrong.

 

No need to check compression as it does not change back and forth.

 

There shouldn't be any oil in the combustion chamber to leak out past the spark plug.

Oil does not leak out between the head and the block, but it can from under the valve cover. Spray the wet area clean with carburetor cleaner and watch it every day to locate a leak.

Any oil leak will not affect engine performance.

 

 

 Probably the choke adjustment. 60F is not cold so you won't need much choke.

Thank you. Great info as usual.  Car is back to running great.  Here’s what I did today. Removed the air cleaner housing, sprayed the throttle linkage? With carb cleaner and scrubbed with toothbrush. Seemed a bit loose as far as metal arms/joints sliding about, however intact. Adjusted the choke back to original position from the last 4 years which happened to be turned to the right, around 2 o’clock. Took the choke electric wire out of its socket connection and pushed it back it tightly.  Tested the diaphragm saucers...the one at the distributor was fine (no air sucked through),

the carb has two...the larger one one the passenger side rear (of the carb) was fine (no air sucked through), heard a little thud (diaphragm working to block air passage?)

and then the other little diaphragm with I think is referred to as the dash pot...

this thing allowed air through and part of the mechanism behind it moved too.  Not sure if that’s normal. 
Either way, I started it up. Seemed to start up fine. Needed a little gas.  I moved the idle screw a bit and returned it back to its position.  Sprayed some silicone on the large rubber hoses that connect to the air filter housing and then buttoned everything up.  Car seemed to return to its normal low hum and normal acceleration power.  So I guess it was the choke after all.

This is the choke unloader. If driving with the choke on performance is hampered because of the blockage of air flow by the choke flap. In an emergency condition, full throttle will provide a vacuum signal to the unloader which mechanically pulls the choke flap open to maximize power. If you suck on the hose the choke should open.
