I fix planes for a living, and it's not unusual to have good leak rates and
worn out oil rings.
Are the bottom plugs oily, if not the oil rings are probably ok.
The oil rings are much thinner than the top rings, and they can wear faster
if the cht's get a bit high.
A set of new rings, and the bores honed might fix your problem.
Cheers,
Ron Graham (F1 #105, finished and waiting for the painter, Sydney, Oz)

Thanks everybody for the help on my oil usage problem.
I am lucky. I found my oil leak at the top of my engine
at the oil cooler connection.
It was running down the oil cooler hose down to the bottom
right next to my vent line making it look like the vent
line was blowing oil.
I would never have guessed it was coming from up at the
top.
anyway, back to the air.
