Enjoy the car and be happy.

To be sure I was pleasantly surprised that compression came back as well as it did. Based on the results my plan is to keep the car and continue enjoying it.
In the meantime though I need to figure out why it suddenly leaked about a quart of oil last week. The oil seems to have come from the top of the engine as there is oil puddled near the fuel filter and spilled down the injector side of the engine. Can a quart of oil come out of the crankcase if the oil cap seal is worn?
Also, are there any procedures/additives/tricks that would be worth trying to bring up the compression on cylinder 1?
