NC sump removal in car

MK3 possible piston rings?

My model of MX-5 is: Mk3 I’m based near: _Gloucester _ I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: smokey engine. I’ve just bought a project 2006 1.8 NC with only 60k on the clock. It’s in immaculate condition apart from the engine burns oils like any thing. I knew this when I bought it, so its not issues. My question is, what is the usual cause of this on NCs? is it likely to be the piston rings or I have read that the PCV can fail and cause the same symptoms. I’m more than hap…
