So I wanted to check the overall quality of my talon it has 139k miles and amazing oil pressure. So I wanted to see if motor has been rebuilt so I did a compression test first time and didn't have car to operating temp and throttle engaged. So I redid test all plugs out motor warm and full throttle came to 135 across board first time it was 90. So today I decided to do a leak down test I just borrowed the compression tester removed the one way valve on the hose and just set regulator on comprssser to 100 psi and I brought car to tdc on 1 marks line up 3 o clock 9 o clock pins at 12 and it leaked threw the dipstick not much but some enough to hear so I went to cylinder 4 and when I pressurized the cylinder it came outta 3 . But the whole reason I was doing this I have fresh oil sometime resting on tyranny and small amount of oil coming outta oil cap . On cold starts I have blue smoke for little I suspect the valve seals need replaced so I'm trying to find out what I need to do next I know the leak down wasn't proper just testing.. thanks and I'm Thomas new to site
