Injectors leaking...

Hey all my injectors are leaking around the base. Not where the injector line goes into the injector but farther down. Should I worry about it? I do see air bubbles coming out of them and I've bleed the lines a few times but there is still air.

tighten the hold down nuts, torque is 44lbsft but snug them alittle more, did you have them out??? if so did you replace the copper washers? if not you probably need to now if you can't get it to seal by tightening the nuts.

Nah, didn't have them out, I remember one of them turned when I was taking the fuel line off. It was rusted on there really good. Where can you get these copper washers?

I have had two leak on my engine. Both of them I was able to remove the injector line (I just loosened a few of the clamps and was able to push the line out of the way) and the fuel return line (the injector I was working on and one on each side) and use a deep socket to tighten the hold down nut. I didn't know the torque spec, but both of mine were just barely wrench tight when I started. You might be able to use a crows foot of the proper size, I didn't have any to try.
