Thanks! 120-130

Thing is, compression test numbers aren't accurate at all in the sense that they tell you what the compression ratio is. All that's important is that you get similar readings on all the cylinders, and those numbers are pretty even.

You might want to give the engine a good scrubbing -- it's a lot easier to see what's leaking on a clean motor. If you're going through oil that fast, my bet would be on the rear mainseal.
