ringland failure?
Pretty sure cylinder 1 ring land broke. Assuming there's no damage to the cylinder walls etc,could anyone give me a ballpark estimate of what it may cost. I have $3,500 to work with.. Trying to figure out if I should fix or just sell the tvs /coilovers and get something else. Really love the car, would hate to have to do that. As soon as it happened I pulled over.
Dip stock popped out, plug has oil on it,head gasket around that cylinder has some oil residue.

Do a compression test to varify. Don't give up on your car over something simple like that. If the cylinder happens to be fine, measure/hone the cylinders and put in some forged Pistons. If it's damaged send your block to Mr.B to get some upgraded cylinders put in. Then you have a stronger motor.
Find out why it went down if it did. Typically ringlands don't just break because they feel like it...

This picture is upside down I think. Took it with phone.

I have no idea why you think that oil leak is a sign of a ring land failure. You have a leak from what looks like where the head meets the block.
Perhaps you should describe "ring land failure" to us from your perspective. Maybe we are all on the same page, maybe we are not.

The shop said piston 1 was melted. Not sure if the Rings melted or the actual piston. I haven't been up there yet to check it out, I just meant ringland because of oil on the plug mostly. I just happened to notice the oil there too. I don't know much about that stuff so I was just trying to figure out what it might be.
