** oil lines **

I suspect it's blowing oil by the valve guides.  Doesn't sound like rings.
Don't gunk up your engine with oil additives.  Rebuild is probably gonna
cost more than the car is worth.

The most expedient solution is probably to do nothing.  The car will probably
last the miles you want out of it anyway.  Buy a case of cheap oil, then
drive it into the ground.
