87 T2 road trip

Hey guys i just whated to see what u all thought about this, im leaving for the beach soon and i was thinking about taking the T2 again ( would be its 3rd year in a row there) but tonight i did a commpression test and the rear rotar shows about 10-15 psi lower on 2 sides of the rotar. Meaning a apex seal aint doing so well im guessing. should i take it? i've only put 2400 miles of it since last year, i've been driving it here lately and have had no problems.

10-15 psi is basically nothing, i defiantly wouldnt consider taking it on a 1k mile trip

10-15 psi lower than one side, like 100- 85 -85 on the rear rotar. The front is all even 100
