Would you suggest running the compression test again using the oil in the cylinder trick to determine if its piston rings -vs- valve or head gasket. Or will the leak down help to achieve the same conclussion.

Leakdown test will help you find out what the hell is leaking. Use the end from your compression tester.
First crank your engine till you get to TDC. You can ratchet the crank bolt. Clockwise I believe. Stick a wire hanger into the plug hole, and mark the area where it comes up the highest. That will be your TDC. Valves should be closed at this time. Then connect that compression hose, and blow compressed air into the cylinder. Go to exhaust listen there, pop the oil cap, listen there, TB listen there, open coolant tank listen and watch there, you get the drift.
