Also check for loose spark plugs.

I had a customer complain of the same thing and it was loose plugs.

Look for light moisture around all of the fuel related parts, you probably won't see large drops of fuel, it's going to be a very fine amount of fuel spraying or oozing out from one of the parts. The fuel hose that mounts under the fuel pulsation dampener has a joint in it about 6 inches below the intake manifold, that would be a good spot to check, you need to look down between the intake manifold runners with a bright light shining on the metal portion of that hose.

Good luck.
I still can't see the leak, but I was able to smell the fumes and hear some sort of pressure escaping around my fuel rail (so I'm beginning to suspect a bad injector O-Ring). Do you know of any decent guides to removing the fuel rail? I've tried searching but haven't really found anything; at the moment I have it about halfway removed but I'd like to know that I'm doing it right.

I had the same issue with my turbo setup. I got a catch can which reduced blowby. It helped me. Don't know if would help you at all.
