There is a lot of gas coming out of the top part of the injectors. Theyre all leaking bad. Do i need to buy a new rail?

I may try to replace the rubber gaskets on the injectors. Where can i buy those rubber gaskets?

You shouldn't need to replace the fuel rail. You should be able to just replace the o-rings that sit around the top of the injector.

I believe the part # is 91303-PK2-005

I bought some at the dealer and I would recommend doing the same unless you know what you are doing. The o-ring has to be resistant to fuel obviously.

what causes these o-rings to leak? is it an inspection/maintenance item or should they be able to last forever?

Soviet

Any rubber o-ring/gasket will flatten and fail to seal over time. I've also damaged them when removing/installing the fuel rail onto the injectors.

get new o-ring's from the dealer, be careful when reinstalling the injectors - it's easy to tear them

so since all fuel injector o-rings will fail over time, shouldn't inspecting the fuel injectors for leaks be a part of some maintenance schedule?

I can't imagine we just rely on our smell of fuel as the manner to detect the eventual failing of fuel injector o-rings. what if some people can't smell shet?

thanks, but how do you inspect for a leak? sniffing it with your nose?

That's the easiest give away, probably much more safe than using a pilot light You can also measure fuel pressure but that's a bit trickier, you either need to tap the fuel rail or get a special adapter to put in place of the fuel pulsation damper in order to connect a fuel pressure gauge. It's almost impossible to not know you have a fuel leak, the smell is so strong that if you can't Toucan Sam your way to the problem you have no sense of smell.
