110psi in cylinder 2, ~160psi in the others. Options?

1996 850R Motor supposedly has ~70k miles on it according to the previous owner. Did compression test because I replaced PCV yesterday and still had slight pressure. Cylinder 2 has 110psi while the rest are right around 160psi. Car seems to run great though, no check engine codes, no misfires, seems...

My gas light also came on earlier than it should have, I pulled immediately into a gas station and noticed a large amount of gas dripping from the front of t...
