Cylinder 2 down on pressure

So I did a compression test and found out that cylinder 2 has 30 lbs psi and the rest are at 180 psi.so my question is where do I go from here to find out what the actually damage is?

Do a leak down test and hear where the air is going to.

Reinstall the plug and start it up and get it warm lock the brakes and give it some gas in gear with the oil fill cap off and see if you get vapor out of it. If you don't get any vapor its a bad valve if you get a lot of blowby then its the piston.

In any event it has to come apart.
Valve, rings, head gasket etc.
I explained this to you some time ago.
