Like I said before it possibly is your rings. oil can come either from the top (valves) or from the bottom (rings)

how much oil? You might be able to unplug your spark plug, shine a flashlight into the combustion chamber and crank it to find out where it's coming from. My rings were so bad, it would make a "squish" noise, then you'd see oil come from the sides.
