Leaking injector...
Need Help!
I have problem with one leaking injector.. I have bought new seals for all injectors total 8.VW shop I took the leaking injector off and the smaller seal was damaged( liked cut off in one place). I put the new seals on and put the injector back, but it continued to leak. I took a new smaller seal and some oil. but it leaked anyway. Is it common that the injector leak? I have a mess in my head What am I doing wrong? I have a porsche 914 2.0 -1973 Erik Sweden

The most common leak is actually the fuel line that (in stock form) is crimped onto the fitting on the injector. The metal crimp-on clamp can be cut with ssome tin-snips, and the hose replaced with new hose and a fuel-injection hose clamp (like the other clamps in the system).
If the injector is leaking between the plastic and metal parts of the body, it's time for a new or rebuilt injector. --DD

I have fuel lines with hose clamp.
Its hard to see where its leak but because the old small inner seal was "liked cut" in one end, I think it is the seal. When I push the injector in its almost no resistance is it like that?and it is almost nothing to put in just 2,3,4mm.. Then on with the washer and nut and it leaks..hmmm
