Rings?

Where is the breather coming from? could be the valve stem seals if its a rocker cover breather.

cars normally have some sort of oil catch tank to stop the big drops of oil in the air that comes up that tube, some times it's a proper tank other times it's just a plate that the air has to move around and the oil gathers on the bottom of it and drips back to the sump.
is the pipe joined in to anything or is it straight from engine to intake?

strait from the engine to the air intake

Could be a cracked piston liner, I had exactly the same problem on the trooper, Unfortunately a different engine solved the proble Sad

Fit an oil catch tank on breather pipe, won't cost much and should be easy enough to fit, it will buy you some time until you can afford to fix engine Wink
