Hm, water in the spring and exhaust chamber, that doesn't seem right. It's also going to cause problems in freezing weather startups if water continues to collect there. Was the water possibly coolant? The air coming from the reservoir has been dried by the dryer. If there is a cracked in the head of the compressor coolant could flow into the governor and out the exhaust port. With the governor mounted spring side down liquid would collect up to the level of the exhaust port. With liquid in that space I believe it's possible to liquid lock the governor at least for a while until the liquid can seep out the pressure adjustment parts.

The big question is where is the liquid coming from. Is it coolant, or is it not. I can't figure out how this much water could come up the tube from the top of the reservoir. But that may be a symptom of my limited imagination more than anything.
