After weeks of fixing boost leaks starting at the jpipe I finally fixed all the way to the throttle body. Now it looks like the last leak is where my injector goes into the head. I've never taken off an injector. Do I just remove the fuel rail? Also, what parts should I order to fix the leak? Is it an injector O ring?

BTW I also did a compression test. It was 58-50-50-60. Without oil. I didn't test it with oil. Does this seem about right for a 120,000 mile car?

Thanks alot!
 
I hate to sound like a jerk, but your compression results suck. Try it again with oil to see how your rings are. There is three o-rings on the injector, the lower one is the one that turns into a hard plastic, and leaks. Goto www.slowboyracing.com They have the kit for new ones and it is pretty cheap.
 
It's fine to tell me what you think, that's why I asked! I thought I read somewhere they should be between 135 and 175. Could've been wrong though. I'll try again with oil and see what I get.
Thanks
 
thats true that compression isnt good its really bad. Warm up the engine, then do the compression test. Are you doing it right? Does your car smoke? those seals your talking about are called the injector insulators
