4th-145psi

I did this because i notice is starting to burn some oil.

its not burning any antifreeze tho

could this be the botom end or in the head ???

You're probably losing seal on the rings in your 3rd cylinder... add a few drops of oil through the spark plug hole, then run your compression test again. If #3 comes up in line with the other 3 cylinder, it's probably your rings.

A leakdown test will definitely tell you more about what's going on, but a standard compression test is always the first step.
