Fred:
The fact that the cooling system looses pressure tells me there is a leak, as you mentioned. Is there any evidence of coolant getting into the oil? Also, have you checked the opposite (oil into coolant)? Finally, if # 3 is the problem, I would recommend checking compression in that cylender. If the head gasket is leaking there, you may be loosing compression and causing the miss. By the way, are you getting any trouble codes?
