engage with no rpm drop tells me there is a blown seal preventing the compressor from having any resistance... but I can't say for sure.

Good luck with the "burns some oil". That can be a small problem that lasts forever, or a big problem that costs you an engine and a tow at any time. It may be worth your time to learn how to do compression/leakdown testing, or get it checked out.
