I recently put in new injectors and about 2 weeks, but I recently needed to remove them due to some bad fuel, upon re-installation, the injector for cylinder 2 was leaky, so I re-seated it and that fixed the problem. The next day, I encountered the same problem but with injector number 3, so instinctively I removed it and checked the o'ring for cracks and stuff, then put it back in, unfortunately this time it didn't solve anything. Next i'm gonna switch around the injectors on that side and see if that fixes anything. Also, the grommet that buffers the fuel rail and the injector was loose and would move a little, whereas the other injectors were not. Any help on the matter would be appreciated as this is getting quite frustrating. Thanks
And for mods, I just have a stock 2003 wrx.

Did you bend the fuel rails when installing the injectors?
Like bend it so much that it may not be all the way over the injector? it could be a possibility because of the tight space around the fuel rail and injectors. It seemed to tighten down ok when I re-assembled it but I'll definitely check that.

alright, well it looks like the o'ring has a little bit of a pinch so i'm gonna replace that and it should be my fix

should have replaced the o-rings the first time around... never a bad idea to change gaskets/o-rings

+1, Alot of techs think its just reseat it and your good to go, personally if the car ignites due to tiny slit in an injector o-ring, I dont want to have to be the tech to go out to the customer and say...I have only replaced a few injectors but always change the o-rings, or the little rubber piece at the top of the injector...
yeah, i just did it to all four, it turns out they were all leaking the slightest bit. The o'ring that is on the injector is really only made to be put on once, and since the fuel rail and components are so close, I noticed that after pulling off and putting on the injectors multiple times, that the o'rings were all slightly pinched on one side allowing for a leak. So for anyone who may have this problem, mine was fixed by replacing the o'ring on the top of the injector after removing them for whatever you may be doing. hopefully that is a permanent fix, I'll update this post if I have any future problems with leaky injectors.

^ Yes, I used bearing grease this time. It has a surprising amount of uses
