Ok so I think my o rings might be bad in all of my 1050 injectors which is weird because this has never happened .in the pic I posted you can see what looks like fuel/ oil and smells like fuel. You can see the small puddle where I'm pointing and there is the same Fluids in each the other 3 spots under the injectors. . Could it be a mixture of valve cover leaking and o rings bad ? Also isn't weird there are puddles under every injector ? Could it really be all 4 rings happen to go at the same time ?i think I figured it out but not 100%

it looks way to dark to be fuel but it could be. also if its fuel it will evaporate pretty fast so it has to be a pretty steady leak you would see. pressurize the fuel system and see if the injectors are leaking at the rail. boost leak test will tell you if the seals on the bottom of the injectors are leaking.

To me it looks like oil from the valve cover. swap gaskets and check for any cracks. also you could just clean it all up and run the car too see whats leaking. this will also let you know how much is leaking.
