There is an o-ring at the top of the fuel injector (where it goes into the rail); yours is leaking. Since you've got it disassembled this far, get the whole set (oring, spacer, seat -- these aren't standard names, but the set is about $5/injector). Your pintle caps look okay from here, but it's hard to tell. The crush washers you need are only available from the dealer, but they're cheaper than dirt.

And for gosh sake, clean them up before you post a picture!

Haha these aren't mine this is just the picture I found on The internet. So I can replace the seals I don't have to buy all new injectors??

Well, I don't know. But the most likely place for a leak is at the oring on top. When you install it, lubricate it with gasoline (okay, I use oil, but the FSM recommends gasoline) so that you don't cut the oring on installation.

Don't forget that there are three different sizes of washers (CSI, FPD, and the rest)
