my list of problems on my 88

if you any answers please help.
i have some serious white smoke and it runs real weak.
i have no clutch pressure, if you pump it alot it will work and the fluid level never drops but theres no pressure.
im going to go look at an engine today and i dont know how to check compression, i have the tool and i can do it on a piston engine but how do i do it on a rotary. any answers can help.

Smell the white smoke.

Bleed the clutch.

And with a compression tester I believe that you have to hold the button on the side in as the engine spins. You want the needle to move freely.
