Hey all;

Last week I noticed that one injector was leaking (bottom). Suspecting a seal problem even though they have all been recently replaced, I picked up some seals. Today I removed the rail and inspected the old seals. They seem fine. I replaced the one I suspected and reinstalled the rail etc. Now two injectors are leaking. Where did I go wrong? Did I not seat the injectors properly?

Thank you.

Hard to say without seeing it in person. Fuel rails are also known for cracking and leaking.

 

The fuel rail is fine. One would suspect seals and o rings. I know it's always good to replace all of them once the injectors are out. I only had 2 new seals and was looking for a quick fix to get the car to somewhere where I could work on it more easily. The fact that two injectors are now leaking makes me wonder if I damaged them re installing the rail? Stupid question but if the rail is on and tight, the injectors must be in all the way...am I wrong?

Well if the seals are nicked or shrunk, then it is going to leak under 40psi pressure.
