Have you noticed white foam inside the oil cap, or white smoke out the tailpipe?

Try a few drops of oil in the cylinders that were low and see if the compression changes. If not could be some bent valves, carbon build up, which could be the higher readings on the others.
Really should have a leak down test done that will point you a little closer in the right direction. You didn't say if you noticed anything in the oil or coolant. Or if you are loosing any oil or coolant.

When was your last oil change? I would do one and check for coolant in your oil. You can never have too often an oil change and oil is relatively cheap. Its a great way to check for a BHG, from my experiances.
