usually u do a leakdown test by pulling ur head and leveling the pistons at a certain point and pour a level amount of gas onto each piston and see in an hr if it leaks down through the piston. or u can do a compression check but thats not gonna determine if its only the piston rings.

it can usually be something to do with the head like the valve stem seals. does ur car overheat? if it does can be head gasket.
