"Compression Dropping" After Rebuild (289)

Hello,

Well, I have had my rebuilt 289 for several months now and have over 300 miles on it. My problem is that it is "spitting oil our the drivers side breather cap". When I did acompression check a month ago most cylinders were at about 155psi. When I did the same test today some were 155, 140 and 136. When I squirted oil in the cylinders they all came up to 160.

Question: Is my engine still breaking in?

How long does it normally take for the rings to seat?Should my compression be going down?

Thanks, Greg.
