If it fails a comp test with oil down there that would suggest rings OR head gasket to me...

Since there is no smoke, failing a wet test would suggest BHG - not into the water jacket... Had that on an alpha 1.5 (excel Laughing ) before.

BUT, the excel did start to lose coolant a couple of weeks after the oil started strangely disappearing. I guess it warped more. Also it did not lose that much compression that it ran shit (read: shitter).

It sounds strongly like rings on a cylinder or two, but wheres the smoke?
