injector trouble?

Truck has always had "loud" injectors, so its hard to say if its getting worse. But i had a "wierd feeling"
truck has not really had higher Egt's, short burst of white smoke at start. Rough idle at start. No obvious increase in oil level.
pulled dipstick and it doesn't stink of diesel, but maybe a hint of fuel smell. oil has 2k on it.

Sound like leaking injectors? What else to check? What is the next step?

also. hard lines into injectors... #1,2, 5 have a verry strong Pulse sensationto the touch. the others are niot nearly as strong feeling.

What do I ask the dealership to do?
thanks. dave

Don't know about what to tell dealer but you could send a oil sample off to be tested to see how much fuel dilution is going on if any.
