I would change to VR-1 and do a compression and a leakdown test.
Is there any history on the motor? Any rebuild in it's past? Receipts?

Crap. Ok. Well, after the VR-1 experience I'm convinced. No history of a rebuild. PO fixed a bunch of oil leaks, thermostat, new lines, etc. in the last 10 years. So I don't think its leaking oil while driving. It's a little wet looking here and there underneath, but nothing that would suggest a lot of oil getting blow towards the back.
