If the HG and crank case vent (CCV) system are OK, about all you can do is try a major brand engine oil stop leak additive and a thicker oil, preferably a high mileage one, if sorting it would be too expensive. Alas stop leak additives or the seal swellers in a high mileage oil like Castrol GTX 15w40 or Valvoline 10w40 will not help if the rings are bad. They can work wonders with bad valve guide oil seals, although replacing those seals is less expensive than a new HG.
