OK I have a theory and I may be way out in left field and feel free to correct me if I'm way off track but.....
I'm guessing that the heet with injector cleaner & or the sea foam is doing its job causing this hidden problem to rear its ugly head. My guess at this point is that carbon may have been sealing a broken ring, or causing a ring to be stuck. The seafoam in the fuel was enough to break it loose and allow oil to flow past the rings.
That being said, if the ring is broken, its broken and will need to be replaced. If its just stuck, conceivably the issue could be corrected by squirting some seafoam down on top of the pistons, leaving it to set overnight, and vacuuming it out the next day and cranking the engine with the plugs out to blow any excess out, then replace the plugs and change the oil. This could break loose a stuck ring and correct the problem? Thoughts?
