I fix planes for a living, and it's not unusual to have good leak rates and
worn out oil rings.
Are the bottom plugs oily, if not the oil rings are probably ok.

The oil rings are much thinner than the top rings, and they can wear faster
if the cht's get a bit high.

A set of new rings, and the bores honed might fix your problem.

Cheers,
