I had a very large leak from cylinder 1 to a water passage. It also had completely normal readings for compression. I'd say that maybe the high reading is from coolant making a better seal around the rings. Similar to squirting oil into a cylinder to check rings on a cylinder. You have to do a leak down. Or pull all plugs and rotate the crank to look at the piston tops with a flash light. I could see that one cyliner was wet with coolant. good luck.
