Compression check, drum roll please

Front rotor approx 72psi, rear approx 75psi Well I think I may have found my problem with flooding. And i was looking at my oil and noticed it looked sorta like caramel color. Not quite strawberry milkshake, but not too gassy smelling... I didnt have an extra person here at the moment to help me with the check so i didnt get to watch the gauge or hold the bleed valve open to see each pulse, but after 5 full cycles/15 puffs it seemed to max out at about those numbers. The puffs were even so I guess its just leaking evenly all over. Im scared to see what i find when I break it down for a rebuild sometime in the spring. Till then Ill keep driving it i guess, it still runs somewhat ok, but is hard to start
