E320 CDI Brown Diesel Fuel From Leak Back-Test

Hello,

I recently did the leak back test, and found them all to be equal, however, the diesel is Green on cylinder #6, and it gets more brown on each cylinder till it is fully brown on cylinder #1 (closest to the radiator).

*Note: The Diesel from the other end of return lines (Not from Injectors) was green*

What could be the issue? This seems odd to me.

The color is green. (I assume the color in the tank is also green as the fuel line from the tank were all spitting out green).

If there was brown fuel in some injectors and green in others, I would be able to deduce it quickly. However, in this scenario, it was like a rainbow going from green to brown, each cylinder getting more brown diesel fuel. I will attach an image if my description does not paint the picture.
