If thats from a compression test, those numbers are all over the board. I'd go back and pull all the spark plugs, and re test each cylinder. This time run the first test when warm and then put a little oil in each cylinder right before you test it. If the compression changes by very much, its piston ring leakage, if not its probably the valves.

As for the plenum, i'd bet thats why its eating oil. Its very possible that has been dumping oil into your cylinders. Its not uncommon to have a really bad plenum gasket kill cylinder 7 or 8.
