    leak down is generally valve train related not pistons.

    If its an earlier WRX I would bet burnt exhaust valve. But since its prolly a Pontiac Vibe who knows... LIST WHAT VEHICLE IS HAVING THE PROBLEMS, WE CAN'T READ MINDS :D

    I read the title as "hore and boning service". I got nothing and am sorely disappointed.
