Buy a leak down tester that goes to around 100 psi and listen for where it's leaking. Soapy water also foams around a leak under pressure, although limited visibility here. Seems odd that 4 cylinders that aren't even next to each other would all fail, more common to have them fail next to each other and compression from one leaks through the open valve of the adjacent cylinder.
