With oil coming out the pipe, there's a number of things that it could be. Only way of telling is to pull the cylinder down to diagnose the problem. It could be in the head or it could be a ring problem.

The Boss is right I have seen broken valve guides and or blown head gaskets do this, best to pull the head and check the pistons for play and scoring in the cylinders, not a hard job if you have a factory manual and use a torque wrench:bigsmiley31:
