fuel injector leaking from the injector, not the seals
I've been doing a buildup for the last year or so on this car and I went to start it tonight. I noticed that one of the injectors was leaking, but not from the seal from inside the injector.
Basically the injector looks to have two pieces, with a thin silver washer in between. Fuel is leaking out around that washer. Is there anything I can do to fix this or must the injector go back to RC. The injectors are all brand new.

I had an injector that dripped a little after they were freshly cleaned. After it fired a few times, that fixed it. I was told that this is not uncommon with a fresh set of cleaned injectors. Yours don't sound fresh though and since RC cleans them for free, I'd send them back.

I'm going to send it off to RC. This is leaking a pretty significant amount, not just a few drips, and it does it just with the system pressurized so I don't even want to see what would happen with it running and some boost. They said turnaround would only be a day so no big deal.
