So, as I stated in a previous post I have compression numbers of 100 psi across all four cylinders (the bright side, they are consistant,lol) I am trying to narrow down if its just my Headgasket. If I perform a leak down test, a couple questions;
-How much oil should I drip in each cylinder before re-checking compression whne the engine is hot? A drop?? A capful??? Confused here...
-Let me know if I am correct here. If the PSI remains unchanged during a leakdown, its definately the headgasket?? If it goes up, its the rings??? Are there any other possibilities?? Thanks.
I am hoping for it to remain the same so I can just be concerned about the HG, We will see though and I will cross my fingers. Thanks in advance..

I use a capfull.
If the pressure goes up on the wet test then your rings are wearing. If it doesn't it means that either the headgasket is leaking or you need a valvejob.

As well... 1. Bubbles in radiator= HG 2. Air out of throttle body=leaking intake valves 3. Air out of exhaust=exhaust valves 4. air out of dipstick tube=Rings To identify problem from results of loss of air on Leakdown test
