I had a VW Rabbit (aka Golf) once where there was a piece of head gasket about 3/4 long missing. It blew very close to zero on the
compression gauge (although might have been 5 psi, don't recall now).

No need if the compression test is showing the problem. Leak down is only good for looking for leaks too small to detect with a
compression test.
