Injector #3 leaking fuel at the bottom [brand new] o-ring.

Just got the car back from the shop. They replaced the o-rings. One appears to be a little leaky. The bottom o-ring is leaky on injector 3. The o-ring is wet and it smells like fuel!

Do you think the o-ring needs to be replaced or just reseated?


Thanks!

I take it back.. when i fiddle with the injector, it seems to spray around where the connector plugs in. Odd - maybe its coming from the top and its just an illusion? But it really seems like its leaking from where the connector plugs in.

Maybe this is just a bad injector?

I've pinched and cut a new one putting it in before. Take it out and check it.

I will pull it out and check.. So how do i relieve the fuel pressure so i dont make a huge mess? If i start the car and let it idle then pull the fuel pump relay out, will that do the trick?
