The compression reading is normal for a cold engine. The engine should always be 'warm' when checking compression, the engine oil will then coat the rings.

The bubbles will show up when the thermostat opens, they will come up from the bottom of the expansion tank - the hose that sometimes leaks(?). I suggest replacing that hose rather than moving the clamps. Also, replace the cap as it is a cheap thing to do.
