The injectors, themselves can leak.  It is pretty straight forward to
replace them.  Some things to keep in mind - use fuel injection hoses when
you replace the injector. There is a rubber seal that the nose of the
injector goes into.  You may want to change those.  I used a sharp exacto
knife to split the hose  at the end to take off the old hoses.  It takes
some doing to put on the new hoses.  As a precaution, I used hose clamps
after getting the sucker on as much as I could.  Maybe someone has a tip
on an easy way to do it.  I have heard that you should use hose clamps
with rolled edges.  I didn't bother and have not had any problem.  Your 
"mileage" may differ.
