Default b18a with a injector leak!

Aight I have searched and I found where ppl are saying its there oring is bad but IDK which one is causing my leak.

According to this picture there are two orings #2 and #16. I thought mine was #2 but after reading other ppls post I think the leaks come from #16.

I know that 90% of HT has ran across this problem and I was just wondering where this leak usually comes from. I am loosing alot of fuel from around my injectors and I dont know which oring to replace.

I would say number 16, there is high pressure behind it, the other one, number 2, just seals the injector to the manifold so it doesn't have any pressure on it.

Ok. I have my injectors out and they have what looks like carbon build up on them"soot"...just wondering what I can use to clean my injectors while they are out. Should I dip them in some injection cleaner or something?

Use "brake clean" to clean the injectors and replace all of the O-rings. If it's not going to break the bank - and I hope it wouldn't - it's a good precaution. If one is going bad, they'll all follow suit shortly.
