Default loosing compression

ok i got a xtm xt2 i had it out today ran about 5 tanks (was very fun) had it at a dirt track and around paths, done some sweet jumps and goes pretty fast (this is only my second time taking it out so yeppe lol)

anyways

about 3 hours ago i decided to take it out my front and give it a spin(just had to u know the feeling hehe), didnt use all the fuel up so had my dinner and came back to start it up to finish the rest of the fuel, wont start

dam

left it for a while, primed engine tryed again still wudnt turn over

i checked the glow plug, checked if engine was flooded was neither but i changed glow plug anyways just incase

after trying to turn it over a few times i turned it over slowly to hear it, i noticed when i was pulling the cord, there was a hissing sound, at first i thought it was maybe fuel burning on the glow plug but it was another sort of hissing

im thinkin a compression leak since the pull cord is very easy to pull and the hissing

basicly just need to know were are the spots to check for the leaks as i cudnt find out were abouts the hissing was coming from
