I've been having a problem for awhile in that the car has been using a quart 
of oil with every other tank of gas.
I did a compression check and the readings were 145-140-130-130-130-145.
I just noticed that the spin on oil filter was a bit small and changed that 
to  the correct size.
Oil was being pushed out the oil pan gasket, even after changing the gasket.
The car only smokes when when I gear down and accelerate; and part of that 
may be beacause its running too rich.
For the amount of oil its using, I would think it would smoke quite a bit 
more.
How bad are these compression readings?

Thanks

Al
