Default Piston Rings?? or Head Gasket??

I got a small bit of oil in my coolant tank, and i also get oil coming out of my breather filter , what is going on? The motor has been boosted over a year at 6psi.(d16y8,greddy kit) the car runs fine and im not loosing water or oil other than the normal amount that burns off.
Anyone got any ideas, also what does a car feel like with bad rings?

how much oil? there can be a tiny bit of oily looking residue and the head gasket will still be ok.. as for oil coming out the breather filter, chances are pretty good thats blowby and cracked ringlands or worn piston rings.. a compression and leakdown test would be a good place to start
