First off is a compression and then leak down this is a good place to start when looking for engine trouble like burning oil. Should give you a good idea of the condition of the rings and the valve seals.
do you know what sort of values it should be in, how much leakage is ok ?? also how is this done. Is it done from spark plug ?? just basically a compression test of the engine ??
