What kind of meter did you have? A conventional VOM or DVM uses DC for testing. A good capacitor should show no current with DC. If it shows DC current, it is leaky, and therefore bad.
A lab-grade capacitor tester will use AC for measuring the capacitance value, but will use DC for a leakage measurement.
