   Im getting oil blowing back up and leaking from around the oil filler cap and into the air filter. does this mean my rings are gone or could it be somthing else ?

   A lot of people on here have had leaking oil caps. Check the the seal on the filler cap, may need a new filler cap.

   Oil caps in saxos are terrible and really prone to the rubber seal becoming flat and useless. How ever oil getting that high isnt something to worry about, if there was no oil up that high, i would be worried!
   Oil coming out the filter shows that the breather is connected to the air filter and the pressure is pulling the oil from the head/s. A seperate breather will sort that but wont stop oil coming out the filler cap!
