Oil in the airbox

I am new to the Porsche world (other than a 914 in high school) We recently bought a '79 Euro. After a little work (Alternator, rotor, relays, misc electrical) it is running fantastic. I am getting ready to replace the fuel lines and found quite a bit of oil in the airbox. Seems to be pretty well distributed. Sounds like this is somewhat common, but I'm worried about the rings. PO didn't have any records of service, as they had recently gotten it from another person. Would a compression check help sort this out?

We didnt pay much, but hate to start putting money into it if it isn't worth it.

Thanks!
