leaking injectors!!!

OK I've been trying to figure out this stumble for several days now and today I came across something. I put a fuel pressure guage on the shrader valve. 30 min later the pressure had dropped from 42 down to 26! So I unbolted the fuel rail and 2 of the new 30# sov's that I installed were really wet. I turned the key to bring the pressure back up and the same thing happened. When I wiggled the injectors a little bit, fuel came out where the injector meets the fuel rail. That didn't happen when I wiggled the other injectors. Are they just not seating right or what? Should I install the old injectors. Thanks!

I'd pull the leaking ones and replace the o-ring at the top of the injector. Problem solved.

Yea, that sounds like a good idea. I'm going right now to have them checked. Then I'll replace the o ring. Thanks for the reply. I've been reading lots of your old posts about the problem you were having. Gave me some good ideas where to look for the problem. Thanks
