There are breathers in each rocker cover (assuming you have EFi). One at the back of the passenger side, which is just a piece of foam under a plastic cover.
The other side at the front is a flame trap.

Low compression - you'll have to test for rings by sticking some oil into the bore and seeing if that improves matters.
