To be honest compression readings won't tell the whole story, sure your compression rings might be operating fine, but your oil rings could be either worn, or clogged up - and you will still get a good compression reading. If the oil rings are worn or not functioning properly (ie gunked up), then you will be able to burn plenty of oil, and still have good compression.

Another reason why we should always check the service history of a car - missed oil filter changes can cause many headaches Neutral

jonchai -> I dunno if you mean high oil pressure or simply high air pressure in the sump. The sump probably does need some form of breathing, which from stock is non-existant.
