Yes, if it significant. Low/no compression would mean the combustion would bypass the cylinder or rings and end up in the crank case, which would shoot your oil cap in the air. If everything is good, then the combustion is held in the cylinder (compression) and will exit out the valves like it's supposed to.
That is unless you have a large hole in the side of the block, but I'm guessing you wouldn't be asking about compression if that were the case.

Absolutely! Even if you see the problem is just a wire unplugged and dangling there in front of your face.
That is the color of the dually I almost won on ebay when I got the X. I like island blue!

from what we can see in the pics it looks like everything is original under the hood.
he cant find the leak so you know what that means... pedestal or hpop more than likely...
injector orings and the "tugly stick" disorder maybe for the smoke and miss?
and yes im referring to a loose injector when i say "tugly stick" disorder.
could turn that into a hell of a nice truck scoopin it up for 5k.
hope you get it brother!
