Squirt some oil into the cylinder with 160 lbs pressure and see if the pressure comes up. This would check to see if the rings are the issue. At this time it might be worth renting the leak down tester to confirm. Best to double check before pulling the heads and or engine.

Was the engine sitting long before you started to drive? One other trick is to squirt automatic trans fluid into the top of the cylinder, don't fill it up too much just a few squirts. Hand crank the engine a few times and squirt a little more in. If the ring is stuck or has carbon buildup this might clean it up. A long shot but an old trick from days gone by.
