Exclamation Huge oil leak covering entire engine with gunk!

So i just put a "new" stock exhaust on my 'stang and removed the air silencer so all thats left is to stop the huge oil leak that is covering the entire engine with gunk!

So i have oil coming out of every vent (replaced pcv to no avail...its alost coming outta the oil breather) in the engine so what im figureing is i have bad piston rings. What do yall think?

Now while im in there, i was wondering what else i can do. I have my old 87 motor that imma just throw back in there for the mean time but i was thinking about doin a lil somin somin to the 89 while im at it.

Ne suggestions?

prefurrably parts that i could also use on a 2.3T assuming i get it.

i wish.... that would make this easy

i've talked to a mechanic about some other venting mechanisms on the side of the block that could be clogged.... ill post if cleaning them does anything.
