Michael, I once inadvertently took my injectors apart in the process of
replacing the head gasket.  after reassembly two of them leaked.  There are some
copper washers inside which I believe are only intended to be used once.  They
are compressed and slightly deformed on assembly to make a proper seal and may
leak if the injectors are taken apart and reassembled without replacing the
copper washers.  I think your problem is more likely to be an improperly
adjusted fuel injection pump, perhaps a problem with the thermostatic actuator. 
Spica expert advice is needed in your case.  Do you have the AROC Spica tech
notes?
