Well that's only a 10% difference between cylinders which isn't bad. At MOST you want under a 20% difference between cylinders. If you're worried about it, next time you check your compression pour a a small capful of oil in there and if the number goes up a lot it's slightly worn rings. If not then do a leakdown test to see for sure what's leaking.
