bad valve, bad rings or head gasket. need to do a leakdown test and see where the cylinder is leaking. do a copression test with adding a tablespoon of oil in the plug hole. if you get some compression, it's rings. have same problem with 5.0 in f150. mine bad rings on one cylinder. probable cause would have started with a bad injector leaking fuel and washing oil from the cylinder. then on restart that bore would not be lubed causing premature ring wear. at 150k, time for a new engine.

What is the cylinder compression for 2.0 engine?
There is no real compression spec for the 2.0 zetec engine. Ford only says that no cylinder should be below 25% or all the cylinders. If it is that cylinder is down. That could be a number of problems such as head gasket or bad rings. Either way. Once you do a compression test yourself I would recommend having a dealership follow it up with a diagnostic. They will be able to give you solutions if there is low compression as far as possible reasons and repairs. Per. ALLDATA Ford NTI/ UTI student
