remember, this isnt directly nitrous' fault. im sure nitrous gave extra stress, and at the right time, something finally gave in.i was not shooting at all the day it happened.

Cylinder leak down is progressive, meaning it probably started a while ago...most likely while you were shooting...One bad tank of gas, mixed with some nitrous probably created a massive series of "pings" that wore the ring land down in the particular cylinder...and then it was just a matter of time before it got worse and became noticable...
yeah, maybe a nitrous shot cracked your piston or bent the rod on a detonation. Maybe you used it with the car too hot...and didnt notice.
The cracked piston will not hold pressure for long from the cracks as time goes by, it will begin to push the cracked part down and compression will be lost. Car will stumble, like no power when launching the car. Oil will go up the piston and some pressure released inside the block.
