A month isn't really too long, but soaking in kerosene while you're doing other 
work certainly can't hurt.

This is perfectly normal. There's no accumulator in our FI systems, so very 
little fuel loss is required to bring the pressure down to zero. The leak 
you're seeing could be thru the injectors or thru a fitting leak that's so 
small you can't see it, or it could be the pump.
