You don't have to do a leak-down test to determine if
you have bad rings or a valve problem. You have done a
"dry compression test", now do a "wet compression
test". Squirt some oil into the bad cylinder and do
the compression test again, if the pressure stays the
same, the valves or head is bad, if it comes up, the
rings are bad.  Phil
