dont know if it was running rich or not because it just sitting in the car for months.i only drove it around the parking lot but it ran pretty smooth,no backfiring.

check or replace the o2 sensor. If the o2 sensor does not send the ecu into closed loop the engine will run rich all the time. Causing excessive blowby which equates to more gas in the crankcase oil. So i would replace that o2 sensor before ur oil gets diluted enough to cause some decent damage. AKA spun bearing???
