Default weird issue with boosted d16

well i noticed that i have been burning a little oil lately so i figured that i probably should do a compression test and a leak down. i did the compression check first 205, 210, 210, 205 and my haynes manual says that 184 is standard. but the leak down was bad 20, 15, 15, 20. anybody know why this could be?? the only thing i could think of was cam timing might be a degree off. any suggestions? thanks

Is the engine completely stock?

i dont need that kind of advice if your motor was made to run cold then i would to the test cold. but the motor runs warm. it just doesnt make sense? you have a piston ring gap for a reason. an explaination why i should do the test would help.

Yes, but the 184psi that your Haynes manual says is normal is tested cold.
