Default Leaking injector problem

Sorry to bother you guys, but I couldn't find any info by searching. I'm currently rebuilding my head, and when I was taking it off, I noticed that when I pushed on my #1 injector, gasoline squirted out of it to the side, which was a little disconerting. Also, the valves and cylinder corrisponding to that injector look like they've been running lean. Any ideas on what to do? It looks like there's an o-ring there that I might be able to replace, or do I have to replace the whole injector? Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks guys.

dont mean to jack the thread but could the leaking o-ring possibly be the reason why i sometimes smell fuel in my car?

it is possible, or it coudlbe leaking from somewhere else, u really need to isolate the leak before trying to fix it.

i would feel around the fuel injectors and what not to see if fuel is indeed leaking out while the car is running.
