Go to Google and type "leakdown test" and click on the first link... it will cover the info you need nicely.

if i remeber correctly you check the preasure in the cylinder, then you put some oil in the cylinder enough to get to the sides of the piston then check the preasure again. i believe the leak down test is used to check for blowby(piston oil ring leakage)
