BEST way to tell is to do a compression leakdown test. Unless you want to pull the heads off lol lol.. A regular compression test can be "misleading" . IF it passes a leakdown test you know the rings are good and its a seal/guide issue.
that was the next thing for me to test.i have to wait till the snow melts first.don't think it has been abused to bad.the car is really clean.maybe it has the wrong weight oil in it or something.will know more after the leakdown test is done.
