Re: [T3] Help my injectors are leaking!!!


If its the hose on the injector thats leaking then it can and should be
replaced.  if its coming out between the metal and plastic then the rubber
oring inside it has rusted and it is not rebuildable.  this is a common
problem with injectors that sit with fuel in them.
