The oil drains off of everything would be my answer to the compression loss ?. How do you know it's losing compression? Have you checked it? Because it's hard to start?
"how do I get it started"
What's going on? Give us something to work with.

you might want to check your oil injection also to make sure it's injecting enough oil.
Another thing worth checking is your fuel injectors, they might be leaking and contributing to the washing off of the oil which normally lubricates the seals. The oil is used for reducing wear on the seals, improving compression, and preventing corrosion.
If you're new to the car and plan on doing the maintennance yourself, I recommend getting ahold of a shop manual for your specific model/year. http://racingbeat.com has reprints for sale, you can also find them on ebay sometimes.
