I just bought a 2005 525 EFi engine with the CMi sports headers.

The headers was tested with a leak down test by the previous owner right before i picked it up, and i have done 2 different pressure test's with the headers fully submerged under water, and not a single air bubble was detected.

Yesterday i started the engine on a stand, and i could see some liquid in the starboard header.. The port one was dry.
I stopped the engine immediately after i noticed this. It was running maybe 4-5 min..
It did idle fine, no misfire or anything. Extremely loud though, they gonna love me at the harbour

I don't understand how this can be water when the headers have been going through the tests with flying colours.

Can this be fuel? Can a bad fuel pressure regulator cause this, or a stuck open injector/ injectors?
I did clean the injectors a couple of days ago, but did not pressure test them. And they only opened when given 12v.

Another thing is that, after i started the engine i went my sister place to pick up something and the first thing she said was, that i stank of fuel.
And so does the oil, so it must be, right?

whats the air temp might be condensation

Not sure exactly, probably around 15 degrees celsius. The water is much cooler though, its winter outside.
