Default Yea, the injectors can leak from the manifold oring.

I don't think it's a huge deal if it's a minor leak in one cylinder, since the system takes into account and compensates for minor leakage like that

Default Just as an opinion... Stuff a rag in your upper intake hoses after you take off the Y-Pipe...

You'd really hate to accidently drop a clamp, or nut or chunk of dirt down in there while working in the area.

Default it wasnt really minor.. cuz it start to leak from 5psi.. and more.(tapped 19psi dropped to 15psi)

the one o-ring was really bad.. (more like half was gone) i dont know why it's gone..

may be I made mistake while I was installing them..

but after fixing the issue I was able to run 3.9 Fats.. compare 4.5 before...
