    It looks like there's no retaining clip on that leaky injector. The only other reasons it would leak are a faulty no ring or damaged fuel rail. You've never said why you pulled this all apart on a a ar that just had head work so you may want to take a a step back and do some more digging.

    As for Sea Foam, I'm a little old school and have honestly never used the stuff. To my mind trying to solve this problem with it is like trying to dislodge a coronary embolism by going on a diet of Big Macs

      Bentley manual says you supposed to replace the rubber o-rings whenever you pull the injectors; I took a chance when I did mine and got lucky they stayed dry.

          the clips also tell you if the injector and o-ring are pressed in properly

            I swapped the clips from non leaky one to leaky one and they kept leaking

              Here is a pic of my injector rail removeid with my refurbished EVO3 type injectors: took less than 45 mins to replace and up and running.

                if clips go on then its probably pushed far enough in so it would be the o-rings damaged upon in stall or there are deposits and the o-ring cant seal against the surface
