I put in the tool that thread into the spark plug hole and uses compressed air to hold the valves closed when pulling the valve springs. When I attached the air line there was still some air that was passing in the cylinder with about 100 psi from the compressor. Should there be no air passing or is a little okay when I pull the springs?

Definitely is holding some air as when you pull the air hose off there is a good bit of air pressure built up.
