With the numbers making that big of a jump from dry to wet you have some ring on there way out.

Did a leakdown and heard air leaking down in crankcase on 1 cylinder and had air coming thru rocker cover on 2 others.Pulled the heads and found 2 burnt valve seats and 1 cylinder has piston ring failure. Time for a rebuild
