Fuel Injector Help!

Just finnish installing heads and cam along with 42lbs injectors and when I turn the key with out starting the car I noticed that the injector closest to the driver is spitting out fuel from the top or the bottom at least from what I can tell its coming from the injector itself or somewhere around there, its hard to tell. What can be wrong???? Help...

Pinched 'O' ring either top or bottom would be first guess.

I would have to say piched o-ring as well. The same thing happened to me. Make sure you didn't damage the o-ring itself and the injector is seated right.
