I am a lazy shit and didn't get around to getting the test. Since I figure this is the last thing it could be, I have been just looking for a replacement d15 motor til I can get my b20. I will try and get these done tomorrow. By a compression test, will you be able to determine if it's a valve or rings thats leaking? I wouldn't think so, but heck I don't know.

You can easily find out how. If your compression is down on the #3 cylinder put a little bit of oil in the spark plug hole and do the compression test again. If compression goes up its your rings if it stays down then your problems are probably bad valve stem seals.
