Leak down test results + question
Leak down test results were 17% across all cylinders, leaking out of the exhaust side. Oil is also visible around the exhaust manifold gasket.
I am unsure if the test was done with hot or cold motor.
What am I looking at work/repair wise?
Input much appreciated, thanks!

Oil around the exhaust manifold gasket is probably because someone changed the studs and didn't put thread sealer on the lower row before installing them in the head.
17% leak isn't "great" but it's not end of the word either. Does the car run ok? What is compression?
