| may be cause of wear piston rings especially the oil ring, wear valves seal or vaves seat need to re build or may be cause by engine overheating by lack of cooling incase of failure cooling system components |

| I had same problem with my Astra and after Compression test I had to take off my Cylinder head and had to take it in to get 1 Exhaust valve replaced which was Burned away. Suggest you do the same. Let your Cylinder Head Tested |
