Your right at 10 percent prop slip (1.5 ratio, 4450 rpm, 21 pitch prop, 53 mph), betting its better at slower speeds, or could be tweaked getting it to 7 percent or so.
If your motor was hitting 100% on all cylinders your compression would be at least 150 on all. So your motor normally puts out around 40 hp per cylinder. The lower compression on some drops your hp. If you can get all the hp out of all cylinders, you would be able to hit 60 mph in turning 4800 rpm with the 21 pitch prop.
Your motor needs to be freshened up to pick up the speed.
My guess is the lower compression cylinder is where the oil is showing up, and the lower compression is causing smooth airflow thru the crab and may be cause some of the lean issue, but think most the lean is the carb being clogged a bit
