ID 86 Mazda RX7 Compression Check

Could any Automotive shop check the compression on my RX engine to determine if I have an oil control ring problem, which is likely the cause of the engine smoking really bad at start up. It does not smoke all the time nor is it losing coolant. Just smell a lot of unspent fuel. Maybe the fuel injectors are leaking fuel into the rotor housing since the car actually runs good.
