Sure will! Keep in mind that ALL the rings have a gap at the ends, and they hold compression. Problem with a broken one is it can no longer contain a liquid, ie oil. After the oil gets past the "complex" oil ring, it just runs around the piston until it finds the gap in the next ring, and up it goes.

Either that, or the gaps on the rings lined themselves up. I've seen that ONCE in all my years, so that's doubtful. With this volume of oil loss, I'd be looking at the head gaskets, or the block. Make sure the block/gasket/heads look good around the oil return holes (Hole towards the exhaust side of the block) too.

Kepp plugging away, we'll find it sooner or later.
