Leaking injector...now what?

[Ladynredsi]

i'm not gonna ramble. plain and simple, i have a leaking injector. i'm assuming it's from the fender bender.

what is the best solution for the problem?

Ami: leaking as in the seal around the injector where it mounts to the fuel rail or leaking as in it's not opening/closing when it should (staying open all the time).

To check the seal, spray some WD40 (you have this in the US?) around the seal - it will briefly seal the hole and let you run normally as a dignostic.

If the injector itself is rooted, you could take it to an EFI specialist to get it checked/cleaned or go to wreckers and get a replacement one. Easier to replace than repair IMO and you'll find suitable ones easily (you're running a D16 aren't you?).

I'd just replace the seals and filters on the injectors anyway. I did it on my car a while back just for preventative maintenence. you should be able to get the set from the dealer.
