There is one other remote possibility, but I didn't consider it, because you said it was from an injector. If the leak only occurs when the engine is cold and quits after starting, it is NOT likely to be a rusted steel feed line to the injector, it is most likely the low pressure rubber fuel line to the cold-start enrichment nozzles that are fed from the cold-start solenoid on top of the fuel filter over behind the CDI-unit on the left-hand side of the engine compartment. It would be VERY easy to test ... just disconnect the single wire going to the solenoid, insulate it with tape or a ziplock bag around the end of the wire and connector, and start the engine! If the leak is gone, all of the 5 mm rubber tubing going from the solenoid to the nozzles should be replaced! The lines are crimped with metal bands, but small worm gear clamps should be fine if you are careful ... the nozzles are plastic, as the operating pressure is only 15 psi!!!
