When you did the leakdown with piston @ bdc you would have had 100 psi in the cyl and therefore tended to open up any flaws by expansion. When the guys in the shop pressure tested the water jackets it would tend to close off flaws etc by compression. Sonic test will give you a better idea if the block is worth saving.
