Question Where is my compression leak is coming from?

Dooods Happy Friday, woooo
Okay, so my 2056 runs, and I've been driving it a little, but it's still not 100 percent. I got around to doing my compression test, and after the headwork, overall compression was bumped from 124psi up to 145! However, that pesky #3 cyl is still low, at 80. When I had the heads off, I didn't see any cracks or telltale signs to explain it, so I buttoned it back up after getting them cut, thinking it was the little warpage that caused the initial problem.
Now that it's together, is there a trick to determining what the cause could be? I tried squirting a few drops of motor oil into the cylinder and testing again, however it stayed right at 80. Is there anything I can do that will tell me what the cause is, before I pull the motor again? (getting really good at it now )

Tell me, why am I still having fun with this thing?


Cheers
Jeff
