Well, if you aren't premixing...

It probably isn't good news, but before you panic, do a real compression test, or search for how to do the cheap one, pulling the plugs and listening for the WOOOSHing noises. I don't remember exactly but if you do a search on compression tests i'm sure you can find it. Of course if you somehow have access to do a real one that's your best option. That'll be one of your first clues as to whether or not it's your seals going bad...
