I'm with HRT on this one.

Leakdown tests are certainly done with compressed air.

yeah HRT has it.

a leak down test is a process over time to, surprise surprise, check cylinder leakage.

adding oil to a compression test is just a way to test the rings... no specific name for it that iv heard.

cylinder leakage test and leakdown test.... same thing, different words

real life mechanics FTW!
