Did the engine originally have a Skinner Oil Rectifier? I am not that familiar with the 236, but our 326s had the oil rectifier which had lines into the lower area of the cylinder and would suck oil out of the bottom ring groove. The theory was that the oil was contaminated with fuel residue. The oil was sucked into the grapefruit size can mounted on the exhaust manifold where it was cooked to separate the fuel from the oil.
I have attached a picture of our rectifier but ours is no longer connected to the cylinders.
