How much and wat modifications have been done. Usually tell take sign that the rings are done for mate, so if the cars nothing too special and not very reasonably priced(depending on your budget) probably stay away

take the oil cap off while engine is idling and see if its blowing hard? if yes, engine is on the way out.

yes, worn rings will cause blow by hence oil spitting out through the rear breather hose filling the catch can rapidly.
