I did a leakdown test last night on 2 cylinders before I got yelled at by someone else who wanted to eat.

Compression on all cylinders was between 160-175#.

Leakdown on cylinder #1 was 36% with most of the air comming out of the valve guide area.
Cylinder #3 which was the one the looked good with light grey in the header had 5% leakage with know real noticable air comming out any particular area.

Is it safe to spray a little soapy water in the area that leaks or is that going to cause problems later?
