My xflow is breathing heavily, did a road rally last night and most of the oil ended up in the catch tank
The engine was still pulling well and didn't seem to drop in power
I've bought a leakage tester off ebay to confirm that the rings are worn which I think they might be
Will I get away with just honing the bores and new rings
Probably hard to answer without seeing the bores themselves but any advice is welcome

impossible to say without stripping luke, but its easily possible. i had the very same problem with my xflow before i rebuilt it the first time. catch can would fill maybe twice a day through an endurance rally, with a small but steady flow of fumes from the filter on the catch can.
when i stripped it and measured all the bores in a number of places with the bore guage they were well within spec, the rongs were just toast.
new set of rings and a good hone and it was perfect
Exact same symptoms as mine so hopefully it will be OK
