Fuel Injector I looked under the hood of my 01 Formula (LS6 Intake) the other day and noticed what I thought may be a symptom of an injector seal leaking. It looked basically like there was some type of liquid present around the injector and on the side of the intake. The car is original owner, 87k miles. I did H&C 20K miles ago, and don’t recall removing the injectors. The car is not a daily driver and during the weekend I do not notice any difference in performance or gas mileage. Is this a symptom of a leaky injector seal? And if so, would the following part fix my problem? (See below post) They’re cheap, and I just want to make sure I cover all the angles before I order. No need for a fuel upgrade, which is stock. Is it a good time to just by new OEM Injectors? (7 years 87k miles)

The only way you will get fuel outside the injector is through a: a cracked injector, or b: a bad o-ring.
Start with the o-rings but look closely at the injectors when you remove them

bro the injectors on my 98 TA with 150k on em worked fine with mods. Now my 99 on the other hand had the brittle lil plastic piece break on a few when i did my intake install last year. In your case, might have been condensation or water from last time you washed or rain just sittin around. unless you live in a dry area i dont see how they could have dried out with that little mileage. If you need one just shoot me a pm, i just ordered a set of 8 and have old ones sittin around.
