Hello All,
I started my car yesterday, and could smell gas. I discovered a leaky injector. I have extra new seals for each injector. Can you give me any advise for replaceing the seals? Thank you. |

Fuel leaking out of the injector, (into the engine compartment) is the internal O-rings leaking. They cannot be fixed. If they were left dry for some time they may only leak for a while until the rubber softens up, but I would replace the whole injector anyways. I just replaced 2 of them. Then do a leak test, into a test tube with all the injectors as described in this site and a crank test for calibration.
