I had leaks coming from my filler cap and funnel. I replaced the seals and the leak went away. (9n).

cannot look at that in isolation and say if it is problem or not. Pull the breather that comes form the sump and if there is excessive pressure there or huge amounts of oil in the intake then you might have a rings issue.
