So I posted a while back about an A that the PO said shot oil out the exhaust. This is what I have found since I bought it.
I believe the A has a blown head gasket which would explain the water in the bottom of the oil pan and the slight loss of coolant.

The compression test was done with the hand crank so it may actually be a little higher on all of the cylinders. I hope to get the head off this weekend and will let you know what I find from there.
Thanks for all of your suggestions from the last time.
